Doll's Bed c. 1937

Max Fernekes' "Doll's Bed" (c. 1937) is a watercolor depiction of a simple, yet meticulously crafted, doll bed. The piece showcases Fernekes' attention to detail, as the bed's wooden frame, with its rounded posts and rope-woven mattress, is rendered with remarkable realism. The painting, likely intended for a child's room, evokes a sense of nostalgic charm and craftsmanship, highlighting the timeless appeal of handmade toys. The artwork measures 22.9 x 29.3 cm (9 x 11 9/16 in.) and is a testament to Fernekes' skillful rendering of everyday objects.
