T. Joyce's 1941 watercolor "Powder Flask" depicts a detailed rendering of a hunting flask. The flask is rendered in a naturalistic style with realistic details, like a metal spout and a leather strap. The intricately carved decoration features an engraved scene of a hunting dog, surrounded by an ornate, stylized floral pattern. The work highlights Joyce's interest in depicting everyday objects with precise detail and exemplifies his artistic talent.
