"Study for Proposed Portfolio 'Decorated Chests of Rural Pennsylvania'" is an anonymous study for a proposed portfolio of folk art. Dating to 1941, the watercolor on paper design features a symmetrical arrangement of stylized tulips in red, yellow, and white against a blue background. The artist used a simple, bold style reminiscent of Pennsylvania Dutch decorative arts. The design was likely intended for use on a decorated chest, a common folk art object in the region.
