Child's (living room) Chair c. 1937

Francis Law Durand's watercolor painting, "Child's (living room) Chair" (c. 1937) depicts a child-sized armchair, its wooden frame intricately crafted and adorned with a vibrant yellow upholstery. The design, a careful balance of practicality and elegance, is representative of the furniture styles prevalent in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, often favoring a blend of comfort and artistic detail. The chair's diminutive size, coupled with its fine construction, suggests a sense of both playfulness and refinement, characteristic of Durand's artistic approach.
