Set of Saddle Plates

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Set of Saddle Plates by artist Eileen Agar features a wooden chair with orange leather upholstery. The chair's sides and footrest are crafted from wood adorned with a gold pattern and turquoise accents. A thin metal pole supports the chair from its base. The chair's design consists of a curved back and seat with an attached footrest, and it is positioned at an angle. The background of the image transitions from dark gray at the top to white at the bottom. A shadow is cast beneath the chair.
