The artwork, titled “Still Life with Chair,” was created by Fernand Leger and belongs to the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement. It is a still life genre piece measuring 38 x 52 cm and is currently housed at the Musee National Fernand Leger in Biot, France.
The artwork presents a composition that combines elements of still life and human presence in a single frame. Dominated by bold lines and a limited color palette, the piece features a table adorned with fruit, a vase of flowers, and various objects. A figure is depicted leaning over a chair, adding a dynamic element to the otherwise static arrangement. The artistic style reflects simplicity and rawness, characteristic of the Naïve Art movement, while maintaining a structured and deliberate formality. The use of lines and minimal shading emphasizes the geometric and structural composition, drawing the viewer’s attention to both the inanimate objects and the human element within the scene.
