"Chaise Longue Louis XVI" is a detailed pencil and watercolor drawing by Léon Laroche, dating from 1895-1935. It depicts a chaise longue with a white and purple striped upholstery and a gilded frame, characteristic of the Louis XVI style popular in 18th century France. The drawing is a design for the furniture, with the inscription "Publié par VMAINGENT, 2, Rue de Lancry - PARIS." It is likely a design plate for a furniture maker, showcasing the craftsmanship and elegance of the period. The delicate details and muted color palette are typical of Laroche's style, contributing to the overall sense of refinement in the artwork.
