Ralph Atkinson's 1937 watercolor "Compote" is a detailed depiction of a clear glass compote with a lid. The compote's intricate cut glass design is rendered in delicate shades of gray and white, showcasing the artist's keen eye for detail and skill in capturing the play of light on glass. This still life, typical of Atkinson's work, highlights the beauty of everyday objects and the artist's fascination with the interplay of light and form.
