La Chaise

20th-century oil on hardboard, signed (illegible), with a dedication partially concealed by the frame at the lower center.

A rare vertical still life structured around a black and gold-painted chair with a tapestry cushion set against a muted, geometric interior. At the center, a vivid blue glass vase holds blooming white flowers. This element carries the strongest chromatic presence, while the chair and architectural background recede into softer, restrained tones.

The composition is frontal and balanced, with pronounced vertical lines reinforcing its graphic clarity. The bouquet and vase are the most textured and defined forms, set apart from the flattened depth of the surrounding space. The palette, dominated by beiges and subdued neutrals, heightens the luminosity of the white flowers.

Likely executed between the wars, the work reflects a modernized figuration with a measured Art Deco influence, where structure and spatial control take precedence over decorative effect.
