Daybed (Duchesse brisée)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Duchesse Brisée by Louis XVI consists of two parts: the left piece features a high back with a rounded top edge and curved sides. The back and seat are upholstered in fabric with a floral pattern in shades of green, beige, and pink. The wooden frame is brown with ornate carvings. The right piece has a lower back with a curved top edge and a flat, horizontal bar connecting the two sides. The seat is also upholstered in the same floral fabric as the other piece. The wooden frame matches the left piece, with a similar brown color and ornate carvings. Both pieces have four legs with a curved shape. The background of the image is gray with white at the top right.
