Side Chair

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photograph of a side chair. The chair has a dark wood frame with curved legs and a curved stretcher between the front and back legs. The seat and backrest are upholstered in a dark fabric, possibly leather or velvet, with rows of small metal tacks around the edges. The backrest is tall and narrow, with a decorative curved top. The chair is positioned at an angle, with the front facing slightly to the left. The background is a plain light gray color, and the photo is surrounded by a white border with a thick black border around that. The overall style of the chair suggests it may be from the 18th or 19th century. The artist and title of the piece is "Side Chair".
