Garden Bench

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Garden Bench by an unknown artist is a black and white photograph of a bench. The bench has a flat seat and a backrest that is intricately carved with floral patterns and grapevines. The legs of the bench are curved and also feature carved floral designs. The legs are connected by two metal supports, one near the front and one near the back. The bench appears to be made of metal, possibly cast iron or bronze, and has a light-colored finish. The background of the image is dark gray.
