Shaker Rocking Chair

Adele Brooks

National Gallery of Art

A wooden rocking chair with a high back and cane seating is the largest object in the image. The chair features a warm brown tone, with a contrasting lighter beige cane pattern on the seat and back. Positioned on a plain white background, the chair sits slightly angled to the right, allowing for a clear view of both the side and front details. At the bottom of the image, the words "Adie Brooks" are lightly inscribed.
