Old Chairs to Mend

Giovanni Vendramini after Francis Wheatley

National Gallery of Art

The image shows three individuals in a domestic or workshop setting. A man is seated, repairing a chair. Behind him, two women stand holding more chairs. The woman closest wears a white apron over a pink dress, and the other wears a blue dress with a white blouse. A small dog is in the right foreground. The background features a rustic building with a thatched roof, an open window, and a wicker basket hanging on the wall. An open door reveals a distant structure surrounded by trees against a cloudy sky.
