Bucket c. 1939

Leslie Macklem's "Bucket" (c. 1939) is a watercolor painting depicting a wooden bucket with a lid and a strap, rendered in meticulous detail. The artist's realistic style captures the texture of the wood and the worn leather of the strap, highlighting the object's utilitarian nature. Macklem's artwork, a prime example of still life, provides a glimpse into the simple tools and objects that were part of everyday life in the early 20th century.
