Chair

Francis Law Durand

National Gallery of Art

This is a technical drawing of a child's living room chair, showing detailed plans and elevations from three perspectives: top, side, and front. Each view includes annotations with dimensions and construction details. The top view displays the chair's seating area and armrests, the side view shows the profile, emphasizing the height and depth of the back and seat cushioning, and the front view depicts the leg supports and decorative elements. The dimensions are scaled to one sixth actual size, and the design appears classical with a focus on proportion and ornamental detailing on the legs and arms.
