This image showcases a crock, a functional yet decorative ceramic container, created by American artist Elsie Wein in the late 1930s. The crock, number 2 in the series, is depicted in the drawing with intricate detail, revealing its beautiful blue slip decoration and subtle brown hues. The 20th-century artwork, created using watercolor, graphite, and colored pencil on paperboard, captures the essence of the American arts and crafts movement during the 1930s and 1940s. The crock, a period item from the United States, is a testament to the rich heritage of American decorative arts. Its simple yet elegant design, with a distinct makers mark, adds to its charm and authenticity. This drawing is an important addition to the Index of American Design, a comprehensive catalog of American decorative arts, housed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The crock, a common household item during the time, was often used to store and transport various goods, such as food or liquids. However, its simple form and potential for artistic expression made it a popular subject for artists and collectors alike. Wein's drawing of the crock not only captures its functional beauty but also highlights its artistic value, making it a significant piece in the history of American art. The crock, with its timeless design and historical significance, continues to be a source of inspiration for artists and collectors today. This drawing by Elsie Wein is a valuable addition to any art center or gallery, providing a glimpse into the rich artistic heritage of the United States during the 1930s and 1940s.
