Pascal Candlestick 1937

Ethel Dougan’s 1937 watercolor, "Pascal Candlestick," depicts a weathered wooden candlestick in meticulous detail. The artist’s precise rendering of the candlestick's worn surface, with its faded blue paint and chipped wood, creates a sense of history and time. This work is a fine example of Dougan’s illustrative style, known for its focus on objects and their subtle beauty. The piece evokes a sense of simple domesticity and the enduring nature of everyday objects.
