This watercolor by Sydney Roberts, a prominent British artist, depicts a detailed rendering of a trivet, a small stand used to elevate cookware. The intricate details of the carved leaf motif, executed with precise lines and shading, bring the trivet to life, highlighting its decorative function. This c. 1942 work exemplifies Roberts' talent for capturing the essence of everyday objects.
