Crock c. 1936

"Crock" is a watercolor painting on paper created by Yolande Delasser in 1936. The artwork features a detailed depiction of a stoneware crock, with a blue bird painted on its surface. The blue bird and floral design in the upper left corner, executed in blue and white, create a striking contrast against the neutral beige of the crock. Delasser, a prolific artist, was known for her meticulous renderings of everyday objects. The artwork is an example of her interest in the beauty of simple, functional items.
