Sit A Spell

The Small Drawing Room


"I had three chairs in my house; one for solitude,
two for friendship, three for society."


Henry David Thoreau, 1817-1862
American author and naturalist
(from Walden)

It's true, I posted this quotation only a couple of months ago, but while reviewing all my favorite Chagalls, in preparation for today's new Fortnightly, I spent some time looking closely at the chairs in Chagall's "Small Drawing Room" and just had to pair it with Thoreau's observation on seating arrangements.

including "The Small Drawing Room," near top left
