Toy Chair c. 1939

"Toy Chair" is a simple yet striking drawing by Mildred Ford, created around 1939. The artwork depicts a small, child-sized chair, rendered in delicate lines and washes of brown and red. The chair's simple form and muted colors convey a sense of quiet intimacy, inviting viewers to consider the object's everyday presence and its potential for imaginative play. Ford's work, often focusing on domestic objects, invites contemplation on the relationship between art, childhood, and memory.
