Sofa

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The sofa, created by an unknown artist, is a light-colored piece of furniture with a curved back and armrests. The sofa has a rounded back with a slight curve at the top, and the armrests are also curved with a decorative trim along the edges. The legs of the sofa are thin and tapered, made of dark wood. The sofa appears to be upholstered in a light-colored fabric, possibly leather or vinyl. The background of the image is a plain light-colored wall, and the floor is light-colored as well. The sofa is centered in the image and casts a shadow on the floor.
