Silver Mug c. 1937

"Silver Mug" is a graphite drawing by Aaron Fastovsky, executed in 1937. The work is a simple, yet precise depiction of a silver mug, rendered in a highly realistic style. Fastovsky's attention to detail is evident in the way he captures the smooth, reflective surface of the metal, as well as the subtle variations in light and shadow. This drawing showcases Fastovsky's ability to imbue everyday objects with a sense of elegance and beauty, making it a compelling example of still life art.
