Hi!
Maybe you could chop off part of the chair. You could: A) Omit everything above the arch B) omit A plus omit the verticle lines on that part of the back C) omit all of that and have a straighter, lower back. I have sloppily illustrated C in photoshop, below (hope you don't mind).
I do have a chair like this with a small shape on the back and if you like I can e-mail you a photo of it. Good luck with the painting, I'm sure it will be lovely!
