Front and rear view of the same chair depicted in the three preceding etchings 1769 - 1778

This etching by Giovanni Battista Piranesi, created between 1769 and 1778, showcases a front and rear view of the same chair. Piranesi, known for his detailed architectural drawings and engravings, meticulously depicts the chair's intricate design, featuring a curved back supported by two decorative figures. The chair, likely inspired by ancient Roman furniture, is a testament to Piranesi's fascination with classical art and his skill in capturing the grandeur of the past. The artwork, currently housed at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, serves as a valuable example of Piranesi's influential contribution to the neoclassical movement in architecture and design.
