High Chair c. 1939

Raymond Chard's "High Chair" from c. 1939 is a watercolor painting depicting a simple, wooden high chair. The chair is painted with a light wash of color, and its natural wood grain is visible. The chair's back is decorated with a painted design of leaves and flowers, adding a touch of detail to the otherwise minimalist composition. The chair is shown against a plain, off-white background, creating a sense of isolation and emphasizing the chair's form. This painting, along with the rest of Chard's body of work, is a testament to the artist's interest in depicting everyday objects with precision and detail.
