The image shows a wooden chair with a woven seat. The chair features a high back with several vertical slats and elaborately turned legs and spindles. The color palette is predominantly shades of brown, ranging from the dark wood of the chair to the lighter, natural tones of the woven seat. The chair is positioned centrally on the canvas, slightly angled to the left. The name "MAGNUS S. FOSSUM" is printed in the lower left corner of the image.
