Lunch Box 1935 - 1942

"Lunch Box," a watercolor painting by Edward L. Loper, is a detailed depiction of a tin lunch box with a decorative pattern of ribbons and flowers. The piece, created between 1935 and 1942, exemplifies Loper's meticulous style and his interest in everyday objects. The lunch box, with its simple design and vibrant colors, was likely a common sight in American households of the era. Loper's focus on this utilitarian object highlights the beauty found in the ordinary and serves as a reminder of a bygone era.
