Sewing Chair 1939

Dorothy Johnson's 1939 watercolor, "Sewing Chair", depicts a simple, yet detailed chair. The chair is rendered in a realistic style with a focus on its construction, highlighting its worn leather seat and the sturdy wooden frame. This simple, yet intimate subject is a testament to Johnson's keen eye for detail and her ability to imbue everyday objects with significance. The artwork is likely a study for a larger composition, emphasizing the chair's role in the context of domestic life.
