Silver Mug c. 1937

Vincent Carano's "Silver Mug" (c. 1937) is a simple yet striking pencil drawing that showcases the artist's keen eye for detail and ability to capture the reflective qualities of metal. The mug, rendered with meticulous shading, is isolated against a plain background, emphasizing its form and texture. Carano's meticulous approach to depicting the silver mug speaks to the broader American artistic interest in still life during the 20th century.
