Settee

Lambert Hitchcock

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Settee by Lambert Hitchcock shows a wooden bench with a gold design on the backrest. The bench has a long seat and a backrest divided into three sections. The backrest has two armrests on either side, which are curved and have a rounded edge. The frame of the bench is made of dark wood and features gold accents. The seat of the bench appears to be made of a woven material, possibly rattan or wicker, and has a light-colored finish. The background of the image is plain gray.
