Hitchcock Chair

Genevieve Sherlock

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a single wooden chair with a simple, straight-back design. The chair has a dark frame and light-colored straw or cane seating. The color palette is composed of neutral tones, predominantly dark blacks and browns complemented by the lighter beige in the seating area. The chair is centrally positioned, facing directly towards the viewer, with its front two legs visible at the bottom of the image and the top rail at the upper part of the image.
