Desk c. 1940

Edna C. Rex’s “Desk” (c. 1940) is a detailed pencil and watercolor drawing of a traditional wooden desk. The drawing depicts the desk from a frontal view, with its drawers and fold-down writing surface visible. Two smaller sketches of the desk's side and top views are included as reference for the viewer. The desk’s design features intricate details like a curved writing surface and decorative wooden brackets. Rex was a prolific artist with a passion for capturing the beauty of everyday objects, which she often portrayed in her work.
