Kitchen Chair c. 1940

"Kitchen Chair" is a 1940 drawing by Sydney Roberts, renowned for his still life and domestic subject matter. This work showcases Roberts' keen eye for detail and his ability to imbue everyday objects with a sense of quiet dignity. The simple composition, featuring a single chair rendered in charcoal, emphasizes the object's form and texture. The chair's worn surface and sturdy construction evoke a sense of timelessness, making it a compelling study of both form and function. The artist's signature, subtly placed at the bottom, adds a personal touch to this understated yet evocative piece.
