Artist, American, active c. 1935

A wooden chair with a woven straw seat and a high ladder back is the focal point of the image. The color palette is warm with natural wood tones against a beige background. The chair is centered slightly to the right, facing at a three-quarter angle. The back of the chair extends higher than the seat, adding vertical emphasis against the backdrop. In the lower right corner, there is a small number "3" drawn in pencil.
