EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor gouache colored pencil and graphite on paper rendering of Alfred Walbeck's Dropleaf Table, created around 1936, showcases the intricate details and elegant design of this iconic piece of American decorative arts. The table, with its distinctive drop leaves, is a quintessential example of the functional and artistic innovation that defined the 1930s and 1940s in American design. Measuring approximately 11 x 14 inches, this scale drawing provides a detailed and accurate representation of the table's design, from the graceful curves of its legs to the precise lines of its drop leaves. The use of vibrant color and rich detail in the watercolor and gouache techniques brings the table to life, highlighting its beautiful varnished wooden surface and intricate hardware. Alfred Walbeck, a renowned American artist and designer, created this drawing as part of the Index of American Design, a project initiated by the Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in the 1930s. The project aimed to document and preserve the country's cultural heritage through the creation of detailed drawings and measurements of American-made decorative arts and folk art. This beautiful drawing of the Dropleaf Table is now part of the permanent collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world. The table itself, a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the American design tradition, is a cherished item in many homes and museums across the United States.
