Artist, American, active c. 1935

The image depicts a wooden armchair with a high back, intricately turned legs, and spindles. The seat is woven, and there is a heart-shaped cut-out at the top of the backrest. The color palette consists of natural wood tones with subtle shading. The chair is centered in the image, facing the viewer directly and occupying most of the space both vertically and horizontally. A light-colored background surrounds the chair, and the artist's signature is visible in the bottom right corner of the image.
