Side Chair

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Side Chair, by an unknown artist, is a black-and-white photograph of a chair. The chair has a tall back with a decorative top and a central oval design surrounded by a lattice pattern. The seat is flat and woven with a fabric or leather. The chair has four legs, each with a turned spindle design. The front legs are straight, while the back legs are slightly curved. The chair appears to be made of wood. The background of the image is a plain light-colored wall. A small piece of paper at the bottom of the image displays numbers. The photograph has a black border.
