Side Chair

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image is a black-and-white photograph of a Side Chair by artist unknown. The chair has a curved backrest with a flat top and rounded edges. A carved floral design is in the center of the backrest. The seat is upholstered with fabric featuring thin, evenly spaced stripes in various widths. The chair's frame is made of wood and has a light-colored finish. Four legs are visible, with two front legs straight and two back legs curved outward. Three horizontal rungs are under the seat, one near the seat and two below. The background of the photo is plain and light-colored. A small white label on the floor in front of the chair displays numbers. A thick black border surrounds the photo with handwritten numbers in white.
