Samuel H. Crone, American, 1858-1913

Gift of William S. Huff

"I appreciate this drawing because of my love for neoclassical pieces. I believe Crone may have done one of the best realistic sketches of this piece. The sketch is supposed to be of the old Neoclassical marble chair. The drawing is so detailed that it almost feels like a picture. I truly fell in love with Crone’s works because of how he captures beauty in everyday life. This piece, to me, embodies how a simple drawing can be wonderful in its own way."
