“Hemingway” Chair?

A Twitter friend, @BasBoerman, of a Twitter friend, @WouterBlok, published this chair on Instagram and I asked permission to publish it here which @BasBoerman permitted.

The photo was taken at the pool side of a hotel in Cuba where Ernest Hemingway reportedly wrote one of his famous books. Excellent material for our Chairchez L’Homme category – look for the man in the chair: L’homme (the man) doesn’t sit in (maybe this) chair anymore, a lost search.
