Goblet c. 1938

Edward White's "Goblet" is a graphite drawing from 1938 that depicts a single glass goblet with a delicate, etched design. The simple composition and precise detail of the drawing, which emphasizes the form of the glass, places this artwork firmly within the realm of still life. Despite the absence of other objects or context, the artist's meticulous craftsmanship and attention to light and shadow create a sense of elegance and refinement. The drawing's subtle details invite viewers to consider the beauty of everyday objects and the artistry of simple lines and shapes.
