This print showcases a stunning piece of art titled "Chest, c. 1939" by the talented creator Arthur Johnson. The photograph captures a close-up view of this exquisite wooden chest, which dates back to the 1930s and is adorned with intricate carvings and marquetry. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this decorative masterpiece. Delicate floral patterns and flowered motifs grace the surface, creating an enchanting visual feast for the eyes. The use of watercolor and colored pencil on paperboard adds depth and vibrancy to the artwork, highlighting its rich color palette. As we delve into this vintage treasure, we notice that it features two prominent letters - 'B' and 'M'.
