Study of an antique armchair
David Cox British
Not on view
During the 1830s Cox began to represent historic interiors at Haddon Hall, Hardwick Hall, Bolsover Castle and Chatsworth, all in Derbyshire, and extends that interest here. This drawing of a massive, early British chair demonstrates the expressive potential of historic objects and likely was made during one of the artist's annual visits to the Welsh village of Betws-y-coed, where he stayed at the Royal Oak Hotel.
