Side Chair

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Side Chair, by artist unknown, shows a dark wooden chair with a tall backrest. The backrest features a wavy top edge and a cutout design in the center. The chair's seat is flat and rectangular. Four legs, each featuring a decorative turn at the top and bottom, support the chair. A horizontal stretcher connects the two front legs and another connects the two back legs. The chair is angled slightly to the right. The background is solid white.
