Potter is a 1826 paint by Unknown, a Realism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
The painting depicts a man sitting on the ground, engaged in pottery-making. He is dressed in a white cloth wrapped around his waist and has dark hair. The man is focused on shaping a piece of clay on a potter's wheel, with his right hand guiding the clay and his left hand holding a tool. The background of the painting is a plain, off-white color. To the right of the potter, several small clay pots are arranged in a row, while a larger pot sits on the ground in front of him. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet concentration, as the potter is fully absorbed in his craft. This painting is reminiscent of the work of artists associated with the Romanticism movement.
A potter is depicted in one of 35 drawings illustrating various trades and occupations, created in 1826 by an unknown artist.
