Twee fauteuils 1895

"Twee fauteuils" (Two Armchairs) is a design drawing by Léon Laroche from 1895. The drawing depicts two armchairs, each featuring a different design and color scheme. The piece is a watercolor and pencil on paper and is an example of design drawing, an important component of the decorative arts. The title, "Fauteuil Fantasie", suggests the armchairs are whimsical and imaginative in design. These drawings were likely intended to be presented to clients interested in commissioning furniture for their homes. This drawing is a testament to Laroche's skillful craftsmanship and ability to capture the elegance and sophistication of late 19th-century furniture design.
