Side Chair

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Side Chair by artist has a dark wood frame. The chair back is tall and curved, with a shell design at the top. Two curved side supports extend from the back down to the seat. The seat is upholstered in fabric with a floral pattern in shades of beige, brown, and blue. The chair legs are tapered and end in a decorative curve, resembling a hoof. The background is a teal color, and the chair casts a shadow to the left.
