Trestle Table c. 1939

Isadore Goldberg's watercolor "Trestle Table" (c. 1939) is a depiction of a simple, yet sturdy, wooden table. The table is characterized by its long, rectangular top, supported by four trestle-style legs connected by a horizontal stretcher. Goldberg captures the wood's texture and the table's structure with detailed brushwork, showcasing the beauty of traditional woodworking craftsmanship. While the table is a common object, Goldberg's watercolor elevates it to an artistic subject, offering a glimpse into the history and craftsmanship of furniture design.
