Artist, American, active c. 1935

This is a painting of a wooden wall-mounted shelf. The painting shows a single, ornately carved wooden shelf affixed to a neutral background. The wood has a rich, warm tone, and is shaped with elaborate curves and cutouts, including a lyre-like design at the top and a scalloped edge on the shelf platform itself. The piece suggests a vintage or antique design. The attention to detail in the woodwork is highlighted by the painting's focus.
