Hand-carved Cabinet c. 1937

Vera Van Voris's watercolor "Hand-carved Cabinet" (c. 1937) is a meticulous representation of a traditional cabinet. The work depicts intricate floral motifs, a scalloped cresting, and the cabinet's interior with a chalice and monstrance, suggesting a religious context. Van Voris, an artist active from the late 19th to the mid-20th century, was known for her detailed renderings of decorative arts. The watercolor, with its delicate brushwork and warm color palette, captures the beauty and craftsmanship of the original cabinet. This piece offers a glimpse into Van Voris's keen interest in historic design and her skill in representing it with accuracy and artistry.
