Child's Rocking Chair c. 1939

"Child's Rocking Chair" is a graphite drawing by Florence Grant Brown, created around 1939. The artwork depicts a simple wooden rocking chair for children, crafted with delicate details such as the rounded back and woven seat. Brown, a prolific artist known for her meticulous depictions of everyday objects, captures the chair in a straightforward, almost scientific manner. The drawing is a testament to her keen eye for detail and the beauty she found in the mundane. This piece is likely from her series of studies of furniture, a popular theme in American art of the early 20th century.
