Pewter Tankard c. 1936

John Dixon's "Pewter Tankard" is a watercolor painting from c. 1936. The piece, a still life, shows a pewter tankard with a hinged lid and an ornately designed handle. The artist used watercolor techniques to capture the reflective properties of the pewter, highlighting the light that plays across the surface. The simple composition, with the tankard resting on a pale background, draws attention to the details and craftsmanship of the object.
