Studies of a Well and Wooden Trough
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating artwork created by Enoch Wood Perry (1858-1944) during the late 19th century in the United States. This exquisite piece, dated between 1870 and 1900, is a testament to Perry's exceptional artistic skill and his keen observation of rural life. The monochromatic composition, executed in watercolor and gouache over graphite on wove paper, depicts a simple yet evocative scene of a water well and a wooden trough. The well, with its worn wooden bucket and rope, exudes a sense of history and the passage of time. The trough, weathered by the elements, lies nearby, its purpose once essential for collecting and storing water now replaced by modern conveniences. Perry's masterful use of contrasting textures and tonal values in this black and white artwork adds depth and dimension to the scene. The rough, uneven surface of the wooden trough and the smooth, cool finish of the well contrast beautifully, while the subtle variations in shading create a sense of depth and volume. This artwork is a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery, offering a glimpse into the past and the simple pleasures of rural life. It is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the United States and the beauty that can be found in the most ordinary of objects. The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. is fortunate to have this masterpiece in its permanent collection, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors. Enoch Wood Perry, a talented artist from the United States, created this stunning work of art, showcasing his exceptional skill in capturing the essence of a scene with minimalist yet powerful imagery. This artwork, titled "Studies of a Well and Wooden Trough," is a must-see for anyone interested in American art, history, or the simple pleasures of rural life.
