Roof Tile c. 1936

"Roof Tile" is a watercolor on paper by Cecily Edwards, dating back to around 1936. Edwards, who lived from 1855 to 1995, was known for her detailed and often minimalist approach to depicting everyday objects. This artwork exemplifies her style, featuring a single roof tile rendered in subtle shades of brown, gray, and pink against a blank white background. Edwards' focus on simple objects and their inherent beauty highlights the artist's appreciation for the ordinary and the power of minimalist abstraction.
