Chair c. 1937

Edward L. Loper’s “Chair” is a detailed drawing of a single chair, likely a design for a piece of furniture. Created in 1937, this drawing exhibits the chair's form from a three-quarter view, showcasing its intricate carved details and cabriole legs, which are stylistic elements often associated with the Rococo period in furniture design. Loper captures the elegance and craftsmanship of the chair through precise lines and meticulous shading, making this work appealing to both furniture enthusiasts and those interested in fine draftsmanship.
