Corner Cupboard c. 1939

Ernest A. Towers, Jr.'s watercolor "Corner Cupboard" (c. 1939) is a meticulous depiction of a traditional, freestanding cabinet. The piece, with its characteristic arched top, glass doors and lower wood paneling, is a testament to the craftsmanship of early American furniture making. Towers' precise rendering emphasizes the fine details of the wood grain and hardware, making this piece a study in the history of furniture design.
