Goblet c. 1936

Janet Riza's "Goblet" (c. 1936) is a meticulous watercolor drawing of a single, stemmed drinking glass. The artist captures the transparency of the glass and the play of light on its surface with delicate shading. The work is a testament to Riza's skill as a draftsman and her interest in the beauty of everyday objects. It is a fine example of the still life genre, which often focuses on the depiction of simple objects in a realistic manner.
