South Room, Cuttalossa c. 1943

Daniel Garber's pastel drawing, "South Room, Cuttalossa," (c. 1943) depicts a woman knitting in a comfortable armchair. The soft, muted tones of the pastel create a sense of peace and tranquility. The sun streams through a window, illuminating the scene with a warm, diffused light. Garber’s work often focused on domestic scenes, and this piece is a beautiful example of his mastery of light and color. The use of pastel and the soft light of the painting make the work feel almost hazy and dreamy, adding to the sense of peaceful intimacy.
