Trivet 1935 - 1942

"Trivet," a 1935 - 1942 watercolor by Ralph Morton, depicts a detailed, intricately designed trivet, a common household item used to elevate pots and pans over direct heat. The trivet's design is ornate, featuring a central floral motif surrounded by a rope-like pattern, hinting at a historical aesthetic. The careful rendering and muted color palette capture the trivet's functional beauty, a piece of art that blends practicality with artistic expression.
