Armchair 1936

Florence Choate's 1936 watercolor, "Armchair," depicts a single armchair with cabriole legs and a floral-patterned fabric. The design of the chair is traditional, with a high back and upholstery, likely inspired by the Chippendale style. The artist's meticulous rendering captures the details of the chair's construction, showcasing Choate's expertise in still life and decorative art. The watercolor's small size and detailed composition are characteristic of Choate's work, which was often produced in the format of a design study.
