Stool

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image is of a black wooden stool with a woven seat on top. The stool has a square seat, and a frame around the seat. The frame is thick and flat. The seat itself appears to be made of woven material. The legs of the stool are straight and cylindrical, with a simple design. There are also horizontal bars that connect the legs, providing additional support to the stool. The background of the image is light gray, and there is a shadow cast by the stool on the surface below it. The stool appears to be made by artist, Gerrit Rietveld.
