Sofa c. 1953

Ernest Busenbark’s “Sofa” from c. 1953 is a watercolor design that captures the graceful curves of a classical piece of furniture. The design, executed in meticulous detail, features a blue upholstered sofa with a mahogany frame. The intricately carved details of the frame, including the fluted legs and the stylized accents on the back and arms, highlight the craftsmanship of the piece. The watercolor medium gives the design a soft, muted tone, adding to its elegant and timeless appeal. The design would have been a valuable reference for furniture makers of the time, offering a precise and detailed vision of a luxurious and elegant sofa.
