"Iron Pot" is a graphite drawing by American artist J. Howard Iams, created in 1936. The drawing, measuring 16.9 x 27.2 cm, depicts a single iron pot with its three small feet resting on a flat surface. The pot is rendered in meticulous detail with subtle shading, emphasizing its rounded form and textured surface. This work exemplifies Iams's focus on everyday objects, showcasing his keen observation and ability to capture their essence through realism. This piece is a fine example of the still life genre, often used to explore the interplay of light and shadow and the artist's ability to capture form.
