Four Post Bed c. 1940

"Four Post Bed" is a watercolor drawing by David S. De Vault created around 1940. The artwork depicts a four-poster bed with a white canopy and a pink and white patterned bedspread. The bed has detailed wooden posts, one of which is shown in a separate detail. The drawing is a realistic representation of a traditional piece of furniture, offering insight into De Vault's stylistic approach and an appreciation for the craftsmanship of the past. The original object was reportedly 6'x7'x7' high, making this drawing a smaller scale representation of the original bed.
