About this work

This painting shows a simple ceramic pot with a streaky red glaze against a pale background. It looks like a study, not a fancy portrait. The brushwork is loose, almost like quick sketches. You might miss it at first because it’s so plain. But that’s the point—it’s more about the way paint behaves than the pot itself. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next to see other quiet studies like this.
