Bedstead c. 1936

Irene Malawicz's watercolor painting "Bedstead" (c. 1936) depicts a four-poster bed draped in white fabric with colorful floral embroidery. The intricate details of the bed's canopy and linens are captured in a realistic style, highlighting the craftsmanship and artistry of the time. Malawicz, a prolific artist known for her watercolors and illustrations, likely chose this subject to capture the beauty and intimacy of domestic life. The painting, measuring 28.9 x 22.8 cm, offers a glimpse into the past and reminds us of the enduring appeal of traditional furniture and textiles.
