Chair and Tapestry

Edith Olney

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a wooden armchair with upholstered cream-colored cushions positioned near the top. Below the chair, there is a rectangular piece of embroidered fabric featuring a geometric pattern with circular elements and decorative motifs in colors like red and blue. The objects are set against an off-white background. The wooden armchair sits prominently in the upper central part of the image, while the embroidered fabric is directly below it in the lower part of the composition.
