Side Chair (one of four) c. 1937

Bernard Gussow's "Side Chair (one of four)" is a watercolor design for a chair dating back to 1937. The chair features ornate carvings, particularly on the back, and a red upholstered seat. The chair's legs are cabriole legs with a decorative element on the bottom. The design was for a chair intended to be 37.5 inches high, 19 inches wide, and 18 inches deep. This drawing is part of a set of four designs by Gussow, each depicting a different view of the chair. The watercolor medium and the intricate detail of the chair's design capture the essence of this furniture piece. This drawing is a fine example of Gussow's work as a designer and draftsman.
