Side Chair 1936

Lawrence Phillips's 1936 watercolor, "Side Chair," depicts a detailed drawing of a classic chair. The chair's back features an elegant lyre motif, a popular design element in the Neoclassical era. The chair's legs are rendered with a playful touch, ending in stylized lion's paws. This whimsical detail contrasts with the chair's otherwise restrained and elegant design. The overall effect is a harmonious blend of classical and contemporary elements.
