Chair c. 1938

Majel G. Claflin's watercolor painting "Chair," c. 1938, depicts a simple, wooden chair in a realistic style. The chair is rendered with a warm, earthy palette and detailed brushstrokes that capture the texture of the wood. Claflin's focus on the chair's form and structure, combined with the subtle light and shadow effects, highlights the beauty and functionality of this everyday object. The chair is situated on a plain background, emphasizing its form and providing a sense of stillness. This artwork serves as an example of Claflin's artistic talent, exploring the everyday objects that surrounded her.
