Hitchcock Chair 1935 - 1942

"Hitchcock Chair" is a watercolor painting by Cushman Parker, created between 1935 and 1942. The artwork depicts a traditional Hitchcock chair with a woven rush seat, a distinctive feature of this style. Parker, known for his meticulous renderings of furniture designs, captures the chair's intricate details, including the hand-painted decoration on the back splat. This style of chair, often painted with scenes of birds, fruits, or floral patterns, gained popularity in the 19th century, particularly in New England.
