This sketch shows a fancy chair with a high back and armrests. The seat looks like it’s made of woven material, and the legs are carved with curves. A small footstool sits in front of it, matching the chair’s style. The lines are light and quick, almost like a quick note rather than a finished drawing. The artist wrote that this was the chair where someone named Charles I sat during his trial. The handwriting is small and in the corner, like a reminder. If you like this sketch, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more drawings like it.
