Handmade Chair - Rawhide Seat

Manuel G. Runyan

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a wooden chair with a simple design. The chair has four horizontal rails on its back and a woven seat. The seat appears to be partially covered or missing, with bits of material draping off to one side. The color palette consists mainly of muted browns and beiges, reflecting the natural wood tones and slightly aged appearance. The chair is angled slightly, allowing the viewer to see both the front and right side, against a light background.
