Windsor Comb-back Chair

Ernest A. Towers, Jr.

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a wooden chair with a high, spindled back and curved armrests. The chair has a rich, warm brown tone and various shades that indicate the wood's natural patterns. The chair is centered in the image, slightly tilted to show both its side and front, with the backrest's spindles rising vertically and the seat resting on four turned legs with supportive crossbars.
