Armchair

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Three chairs with black frames and dark padded seats. The left and right chairs have armrests, while the middle chair does not. Each chair has four legs and a backrest with a crisscross design at the top. The backrests also feature two horizontal slats. The seats are upholstered in a ribbed fabric and appear to be made of leather. The chairs are positioned against a plain white background. The title of the image is "Armchair" by an unknown artist.
