Card Table

Stephen Goddard

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The card table by Stephen Goddard is a semi-circular wooden table with a reddish-brown color. The table top is flat and smooth, with a thin lip around the edge. There are two sections that can be raised to make the table larger. The table has four tapered legs that are evenly spaced and straight. The legs are also made of the same reddish-brown wood as the table top and have a smooth finish. The legs feature decorative inlays on the front, while the rest of the table does not. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
