"Crock" is a simple line drawing of a ceramic crock with two handles, created by John Tarantino in 1953. The crock is rendered in shades of blue and gray, with a subtle brown inscription on the front reading "Lewis & Gardiner, Huntington, L.I." The drawing’s minimalist style captures the essence of a commonplace object, highlighting the beauty in everyday things. This artwork is an example of a still-life drawing.
