"Gate-legged Table" is a watercolor painting on paper by George Nelson, a prominent American designer, executed around 1936. The artwork depicts a detailed rendering of a traditional wooden table, a common household object often featured in still life paintings. The depiction of the table with its intricate details and realistic shading highlights the artistry of Nelson's work. The painting showcases the simple yet elegant design of the table, and its gate-leg mechanism that allows the table to be folded away when not in use. The painting is a testament to Nelson's keen eye for detail and his ability to capture the essence of everyday objects through his art.
