Pa. German Chair 1937

"Pa. German Chair," a 1937 watercolor by Edward L. Loper (1916-2011), depicts a simple, yet beautifully painted chair. The chair features a traditional Pennsylvania Dutch folk art style, with intricate floral designs and geometric patterns painted on the wooden frame. This chair, likely a functional piece of furniture, was popular in Pennsylvania German communities and is a prime example of the artistic traditions prevalent in the region.
