Highboy, c. 1939
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating work of art by American artist Frank Wenger. This exquisite piece, created during the 1930s or 1940s, is a hand-drawn representation of a highboy, a type of tall chest of drawers that was a popular furniture design in America during the 18th and 19th centuries. Wenger's rendering is a testament to the enduring appeal of this functional and decorative object. The image, which measures approximately 11 x 8 inches, is a watercolor, graphite, and pen and ink drawing on paperboard. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricately carved patterns and embellishments adorning the highboy. The wood grain is rendered in rich browns, adding to the piece's authenticity and sense of heritage. Highboy, c. 1939, is a significant work in the field of decorative arts and design. It is a period item that speaks to the aesthetic sensibilities of the time, and a valuable addition to any collection of American art or furniture history. The drawing is also an important contribution to the Index of American Design, a project initiated by the Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration during the 1930s and 1940s to document American decorative arts. This work by Frank Wenger is currently housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it is available for public viewing and study. It is a reminder of the beauty and craftsmanship that can be found in the everyday objects of our past, and a testament to the enduring allure of American art and design. Whether appreciated for its historical significance or its aesthetic value, Highboy, c. 1939, is a treasure to be cherished.
