The artwork, entitled “Blue and White Covered Urn,” is a creation by the artist James McNeill Whistler. Executed in ink, this piece belongs to the Impressionism art movement and falls within the genre of still life. The dimensions of the artwork are 31.75 x 19.05 cm.
The artwork depicts a solitary urn, adorned in an intricate blue and white pattern. Rendered with delicate precision and minimalist elegance, the urn stands centrally on the paper, commanding attention through its refined details and the subtle interplay of light and shade. The linear border that frames the urn enhances the focus on the object, drawing the viewer’s eye towards the exquisite design and the artist’s adept use of ink to capture the textures and form of the urn. The background remains understated, allowing the urn to emerge as the focal point and highlighting Whistler’s skillful technique and keen observational prowess.
