Wooden Chair c. 1937

Florence Truelson's "Wooden Chair" (c. 1937) is a watercolor on paper drawing of a simple, yet elegant chair with a green finish. The chair is rendered with meticulous detail, showcasing Truelson's keen eye for observation and her talent for capturing the form and texture of everyday objects. The artwork's realism and focus on a common household item is indicative of the American realist movement, which was prominent in the early 20th century. This drawing is a testament to the beauty found in the ordinary and the enduring power of still life as an art form.
