We claim the ornamental design for a chair with upholstered back, as shown and described.

FIG. 1 is a top front perspective view of a chair with upholstered back;

FIG. 2 is a top plan view thereof;

FIG. 3 is a bottom plan view thereof;

FIG. 4 is a rear elevation view thereof;

FIG. 5 is a front elevation view thereof;

FIG. 6 is a right side elevation view thereof; and,

FIG. 7 is a left side elevation view thereof.

The uniform broken lines on the front face of the seatback depict a stitching pattern that forms part of the claimed design, while the other broken lines shown as non-uniform (dash-dot-dash) broken lines in the drawings are for the purpose of illustrating portions of the article that form no part of the claimed design. Additionally, the uniform broken lines shown on back of the chair in FIG. 4 form no part of the daimed design.

Deevers, Nickolaus William Charles, O'Gorman, Santiago Carral, Karsten, Gary
