Child's High Chair c. 1938

Michael Chomyk’s 1938 watercolor “Child’s High Chair” depicts a simple, yet beautifully crafted, wooden chair, with a woven seat, intended for a child to sit in at a table. The chair is elevated on four sturdy legs and features a small stepstool attached to one of the legs, making it easier for a child to climb up. The artwork showcases Chomyk’s talent for capturing the essence of everyday objects with a focus on the subtle beauty of utilitarian items, highlighting the delicate brushwork and muted color palette that define his style.
