Jug

Frank Fumagalli

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a dog and a jug. The dog is depicted in a simple, childlike style with a rectangular body, dark circular spots, and a curved tail. Below the dog is a curved line indicating the ground. Faint unreadable markings are above the dog, with the words "3 DELPHOS CORN POTTERY DECORATED" partially visible. In the bottom left corner, a line drawing of a blue-outlined jug is shown against a lighter background. The painting features minimal color and strong outlines in the style of Paul Klee.
