Jug c. 1938

Yolande Delasser's "Jug" is a watercolor painting from c. 1938 depicting a stoneware jug with a blue and white floral design. The artist was born in 1855 and died in 1995, and her work often featured everyday objects, capturing their simple beauty through meticulous detail. The painting showcases Delasser's talent for capturing the texture of the stoneware and the delicate brushstrokes used to create the floral motif. The composition is simple yet elegant, with the jug placed centrally against a plain background, allowing the viewer to focus on its form and decoration. This painting is an example of Delasser's interest in the commonplace, offering a glimpse into the artistic appreciation of everyday objects in the early 20th century.
