Glass Medicine Vial 1935 - 1942

This anonymous watercolor painting from 1935-1942 features a simple still life composition of a glass medicine vial. The artist's choice of subject matter and the minimalist style of the artwork evoke a sense of quiet contemplation and reflection on everyday objects. The light green hue of the vial against the off-white background creates a calming and somewhat melancholic atmosphere. The painting's small scale and delicate execution suggest a focus on detail and observation. This artwork is an example of realism in art, a style that emphasizes the accurate depiction of objects and their surroundings.
