Armchair c. 1937

Edna C. Rex's "Armchair" (c. 1937) is a detailed watercolor illustration depicting a single armchair on a light beige background. The chair is rendered in a realistic style, with detailed ornamentation on the wooden frame and a floral patterned upholstery. Rex's meticulous attention to detail captures the elegance of the armchair, suggesting a design for a luxurious interior. This watercolor is a good example of the artistic genre of still life and the popular interior design trends of the 1930s.
