Jug c. 1937

This watercolor painting by Frank Fumagalli, dated c. 1937, depicts a stoneware jug, likely made by Smith & Davis, a manufacturer based in Norwalk, Connecticut. The artist meticulously captures the texture and subtle variations in color of the jug, using a realistic style to emphasize its form. This artwork is a fine example of still life, a genre that explores the beauty and details of everyday objects, such as this utilitarian jug.
