Bishop Hill: Settee and Chest c. 1936

Wellington Blewett's "Bishop Hill: Settee and Chest" (c. 1936) is a detailed watercolor drawing of a wooden settee with a built-in storage chest. The drawing, which includes a side view of the object, showcases the elegant simplicity of the design with its curved back, turned spindles and clean lines. Blewett's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the carefully rendered wood grain and subtle shading, showcasing the craftsmanship of furniture design in the mid-20th century.
