Armchair

M. Rosenshield-von-Paulin

National Gallery of Art

This is a detailed scale drawing of an American armchair from around 1700. The drawing includes three views of the chair: front, side, and top, each labeled. The chair has twisted wood designs on the legs and arm supports, a high backrest, and armrests. The seat seems cushioned and potentially upholstered with a reddish-brown material. Measurements and proportions are annotated along the bottom. The drawing appears to be for study or reproduction purposes.
