About The Easy Chair

“The Easy Chair,” an oil on canvas painting by John William Waterhouse, is a noteworthy contribution to the Romanticism art movement. It is a portrait measuring 82.87 x 66.99 cm and is currently housed in a private collection.

In the artwork, a young girl is depicted reclining in a large, comfortable chair. The soft, ethereal light accentuates her delicate features, while her peaceful, contemplative expression adds a sense of serenity to the scene. The artist’s masterful brushwork and use of muted, earthy tones contribute to the overall tranquil ambiance of the composition. The background, consisting of subtle, indistinct forms, ensures that the viewer’s attention remains focused on the central figure, emphasizing her prominence within the frame. This work showcases Waterhouse’s ability to convey profound emotion and introspection through his subjects.
