Armchair

Harry Eisman

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a wooden high-back chair with turned legs, a woven seat, and a series of five arched slats forming the backrest. The chair is predominantly in shades of brown and beige. It is positioned in the center of the frame, facing the viewer directly. The chair exhibits detailed craftsmanship in the armrests and the texture of the woven seat, against a plain, light background.
