Hepplewhite Arm Chair

Elizabeth Curtis

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a large armchair with an ornate frame and floral upholstery. The chair has a high back, curved wooden arms, slender turned legs, all made from dark wood. A matching swatch of the fabric is displayed on the right, showcasing its striped and floral pattern. The color palette includes earth tones such as browns and greens, along with muted reds and blues in the floral design. The chair is positioned centrally, slightly angled to the left, taking up most of the image space, while the fabric swatch is placed on the right against a plain background.
