Chest 1935 - 1942

Carl Strehlau's "Chest," a detailed watercolor painting from 1935-1942, showcases a meticulously crafted wooden chest adorned with intricate painted designs. The chest's surface is a tapestry of geometric patterns, floral motifs, and stylized architectural elements, including arches, columns, and a central starburst. The drawers beneath the main compartment, also decorated with geometric patterns, add functionality to this beautiful and historically-inspired piece. Strehlau's keen attention to detail and use of vibrant colors imbue the artwork with a sense of both historical reverence and timeless beauty.
