"The Three Bear's Chairs" is a watercolor on paper by Florence Truelson, created around 1937. The artwork depicts three chairs of varying sizes, with the largest being a rocking chair and the smallest a child-sized chair. Truelson's meticulous attention to detail captures the intricate craftsmanship of each chair, highlighting their wooden frames, woven seats, and delicate spindles. The chairs are arranged in a simple composition against a plain background, emphasizing their individual forms and inviting viewers to imagine them in a domestic setting. The artwork's subject matter suggests an interest in traditional furniture design, reminiscent of the iconic chairs from the children's story "Goldilocks and the Three Bears."
