Footstool

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a footstool by artist Emile-Jacques Ruhlmann. The footstool has a rectangular seat with rounded corners and a light-colored, cushioned top. The seat is supported by a dark-colored frame with rounded edges. Four legs, resembling animal paws or claws, extend from the frame. The legs are carved with a textured pattern to resemble fur or hair. The footstool is sitting on a flat surface, with a wall visible in the background. The overall appearance is sleek and minimalist, with clean lines and simple shapes. The image is in black and white.
