Desk c. 1936

"Desk" is a watercolor drawing by Frederick Jackson from 1936 that depicts a small desk with a single drawer. The desk has a simple, elegant design, with a rectangular top and four tapered legs. The artist rendered the desk in detail, capturing the grain of the wood and the subtle variations in color. The drawing's realism suggests that this was a design study rather than a strictly representational work. It is a fine example of Jackson's design work, as he is known for his furniture designs and architectural drawings.
