Pa. German Chair c. 1939

This watercolor painting by Charles Henning, titled "Pa. German Chair," depicts a traditional Pennsylvania Dutch chair. Created in 1939, the chair is a classic example of the region's folk art, featuring a simple, sturdy design and intricate painted decoration. The chair's back splat is adorned with a colorful motif of fruits, birds, and stylized foliage, characteristic of Pennsylvania Dutch decorative arts. The chair itself is a testament to the craftsmanship and artistic sensibilities of this unique cultural heritage.
