Easy Chair

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Easy Chair by an unknown artist features a wingback chair with a tall back and curved top. The chair has a cushioned seat and armrests. It is upholstered in light-colored fabric with a patterned design. The legs and frame are made of dark wood with a glossy finish, featuring curved legs with a ball-shaped foot and an X-shaped support underneath the seat. A thin decorative trim lines the edges of the upholstery. The chair is positioned at an angle, with the front facing slightly to the right. The background is a plain light-colored wall and floor.
