Bedstead 1935 - 1942

"Bedstead" is a watercolor drawing by Robert Gilson, created between 1935 and 1942. The artwork depicts a simple wooden bed frame painted in a light blue color. The meticulous detail of the nails and the wood grain, along with the perspective of the image, suggests that it may have been a design drawing or a study of an existing piece of furniture. Gilson, a prolific artist known for his still lifes and landscapes, created this artwork during a period when he was actively exploring different artistic mediums and styles. The artwork's simple composition and focus on everyday objects showcase Gilson's interest in the beauty of the ordinary, a theme often found in his work.
