Alberto Giacometti — Chaise et guéridon (Chair and Guéridon)
Alberto Giacometti

Chaise et guéridon (Chair and Guéridon)

A delicate and spare lithograph by Alberto Giacometti, *Chaise et guéridon* renders a simple chair and pedestal table through the artist's characteristic web of searching, restless lines. The composition evokes a sense of existential solitude, transforming everyday domestic objects into quietly haunting presences on the page. Printed on the fine texture of BFK Rives paper with full margins, the work exemplifies Giacometti's mastery of capturing fragile, trembling forms in the graphic medium.

Medium
Lithograph, on BFK Rives paper, with full margins.
