Bedstead 1936

Irene Malawicz's 1936 watercolor painting, "Bedstead", depicts a four-poster bed with a canopy, a blue and white quilt, and an intricate floral quilt folded at the foot of the bed. The artist, known for her meticulous detail, captures the delicate lace trim of the canopy and the soft texture of the bedding. This realistic portrayal offers a glimpse into the domestic life of the time, highlighting the elegance of a well-appointed bedroom. The painting's focus on everyday objects suggests a genre of still life or domestic realism.
