Tailoress' Table 1938

"Tailoress' Table" is a detailed watercolor rendering of a wooden dresser with a wide top, numerous drawers and a single cabinet, executed by John W. Kelleher in 1938. The image is a realistic depiction of a functional piece of furniture and likely served as a design study. Kelleher, known for his artistic endeavors in the late 19th and 20th centuries, was inspired by the practicality and simplicity of the design aesthetic, typical of the Arts and Crafts movement. The work showcases the artist's meticulous attention to detail, capturing the subtle wood grain and the smooth lines of the dresser.
