The detailed depiction of the chamfer knife, with its wooden handles and metal blade, highlights the artist's skill in capturing both form and texture. The subject matter, typical of Dooley's work, speaks to the artist's appreciation for the everyday objects and tools that shape our lives. "Cooper's Chamfer Knife" stands as a testament to the artist's keen observation and mastery of watercolor technique.
