Side Chair c. 1937

"Side Chair" is a watercolor by Charles Squires, created around 1937. The drawing depicts a classic, high-backed chair with a carved, shell-shaped crest rail and cabriole legs. The chair is upholstered in a rich, crimson fabric, adding a touch of elegance to the design. Squires' meticulous rendering captures the intricate details of the chair's construction, highlighting the craftsmanship of the original piece. While the work appears to be a realistic representation of a specific chair, it is more likely a design concept or study, showcasing Squires' understanding of furniture design and his ability to depict three-dimensional form on a two-dimensional surface.
