Miniature Chest 1939

Carl Buergerniss's 1939 watercolor painting "Miniature Chest" depicts a small, intricately detailed chest with a leather covering and brass hardware. The artist, known for his precise and detailed style, captures the texture of the leather and wood, as well as the worn patina of the metal. The simple composition and realistic depiction of the chest make this artwork a compelling still life, demonstrating the artist's skill in capturing the beauty of everyday objects.
