This watercolor, colored pencil, gouache, and graphite on paperboard artwork by Wenger is a meticulously detailed depiction of a traditional wooden writing desk. The desk, with its brown baize-covered top and green color accentuating the wood grain, exudes an aura of heritage and nostalgia. The desk, reminiscent of a scrutoire, is a period item that embodies the functional design principles of the time. It is a testament to the aesthetic sensibilities of the 20th century, with its simple yet elegant lines and intricate decorative elements. The use of brown and green colors adds depth and warmth to the piece, making it a standout addition to any art collection or gallery.
