Title: Still Life with Rose and Teapot
Artist: Charles Demuth
Medium: Watercolor on paper
Dimensions: 11” x 17”

A quiet, early Demuth moment rendered in soft washes and gentle edges, this still life captures the intimacy of his pre‑Precisionist period. The white teapot, single red rose, and scattered apples sit in a calm arrangement that feels both domestic and contemplative. Demuth’s touch is light but intentional — the draped cloth, the glass vase, and the subtle color transitions show the sensitivity that would later evolve into his iconic architectural precision. A warm, approachable work that highlights the artist’s quieter beginnings.
