Occasional Table 1937

"Occasional Table" is a watercolor drawing by Albert Ryder, executed in 1937. The drawing depicts a simple, wooden table with a single drawer and four legs. The table is rendered in shades of brown, with a light background. This drawing exemplifies Ryder's minimalist style, capturing the essence of a common object in a spare and elegant manner. The simplicity of the subject matter and the artist's use of line and color create a sense of timeless beauty and evoke feelings of domesticity. The drawing's small scale (15 x 9 15/16 inches) contributes to its intimate and contemplative atmosphere.
