Pa. German Rocking Chair c. 1940

LeRoy Griffith's "Pa. German Rocking Chair" is a meticulously rendered drawing from c. 1940 that showcases the artist's keen eye for detail. The artwork depicts a traditional Pennsylvania German rocking chair, rendered in a realistic style that captures the wood's grain and the chair's worn patina. Griffith's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and volume, giving the chair a palpable presence despite its static composition. The chair's sturdy form, simple construction, and age-worn surface speak to the enduring nature of handcrafted objects.
