Pitcher c. 1937

Ella Josephine Sterling's "Pitcher" (c. 1937) is a detailed watercolor painting depicting a blue and white pitcher with a silver handle and gold accents. The intricate floral designs and the delicate lines in the watercolor create a sense of elegance and sophistication. The artwork is a study in the artist's use of color and detail to depict everyday objects with artistic beauty. This detailed depiction of a pitcher would have been a common subject in still life paintings at the time. The careful rendering of light and shadow on the pitcher makes this painting a well-executed example of a still life artwork.
