The Easy Chair 

"The Easy Chair" is an oil painting by the famed Pre-Raphaelite artist, John William Waterhouse. The piece depicts a young woman, seemingly a child, sitting in a large chair with an intense and introspective gaze. Waterhouse's use of loose brushstrokes and soft hues creates a sense of intimacy and quiet contemplation, characteristic of his style. The work, housed in a private collection, showcases Waterhouse's mastery of portraying both the physical and emotional essence of his subjects.
