Chair

Edith Magnette

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a chair. The drawing features technical sketches of a chair from three different perspectives: front view, side view, and top-down view. In the front view, the chair's design includes three vertical slats in the backrest and turned legs with a stretcher. The side view shows the chair's curved back, angled legs, and horizontal crossbars for support. The top-down view displays the chair's rectangular seat with a pattern dividing the surface into four sections. The drawing is rendered in a precise line style, likely for design or architectural purposes.
