Chair c. 1939

Grace Thomas's "Chair" (c. 1939) is a detailed watercolor depiction of a simple wooden chair, rendered in a realistic style. The chair's structure is carefully observed, with particular attention paid to the grain of the wood, suggesting a focus on both form and texture. The artwork is reminiscent of a design drawing, showcasing the chair's craftsmanship and its potential use in furniture design. It is a small work, measuring just 27 x 29.1 cm, yet it captures the essence of a commonplace object, inviting viewers to consider its everyday presence in their lives.
