Armchair 1936

"Armchair" is a watercolor by Lorenz Rothkranz from 1936. Rothkranz (1855-1995) was known for his depictions of furniture and other objects, often emphasizing their details and textures. This work showcases a classic armchair design, featuring a high, elaborately carved back and graceful arms. The meticulous rendering of the wood grain and upholstery suggests a keen interest in the craftsmanship of furniture making, a recurring theme in Rothkranz’s oeuvre.
