Goth's Fur-Covered Chair

A highly decorated piece of seating furniture, its wooden frame concealed beneath thick, luxuriant fur that catches the light of the Chancellery. Its generous proportions swallow Chancellor Goth's gaunt frame entirely, leaving only the silhouette of his head and shoulders visible above the chair's back. Bernard Horsfall stands awkwardly behind the chair while Spandrell approaches from the front, the seating arrangement establishing Goth's spatial and narrative authority over the conversation.
