Woman Seated in Armchair 1946

"Woman Seated in Armchair" is a 1946 ink drawing by American abstract expressionist Franz Kline. The artwork is a simple yet striking depiction of a woman seated in a chair. Kline's signature style is evident in the bold, black lines that define the figure, using a gestural approach to capture the essence of the subject. The lines create a sense of movement and energy, suggesting a moment of contemplation. While it is a sketch, it demonstrates Kline's ability to capture emotion and form through expressive line work, foreshadowing his later abstract paintings.
