Wooden Sugar Bucket c. 1938

"Wooden Sugar Bucket" is a watercolor painting by Annie B. Johnston, created circa 1938. The painting depicts a simple wooden bucket, the kind that would have been used to hold and transport sugar in the early 20th century. Johnston’s meticulous detail captures the texture of the wood and the subtle variations in color, creating a sense of realism. This artwork is a prime example of still life, a genre that often features everyday objects. The painting's simple composition and focus on the ordinary make it a compelling example of realism in art.
