Zoar Four-Post Bed c. 1937

Fritz Boehmer's "Zoar Four-Post Bed" (c. 1937) is a watercolor depiction of a classic, four-post bed with a simple yet elegant design. The bed features turned posts and a headboard with a slightly curved top, creating a graceful silhouette. The bed is shown with a white bedspread and ruffle, suggesting a sense of comfort and domesticity. Boehmer's meticulous attention to detail and the use of watercolor create a realistic representation of the bed, making it a valuable record of furniture design from the early 20th century. The painting is part of a series of works depicting furniture designs. Boehmer was a German-born artist who lived and worked in the United States. He is best known for his watercolor renderings of furniture and architectural details, which were often commissioned by design firms and manufacturers.
