Chest of Drawers

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photo of a chest of drawers. The chest of drawers has a rectangular shape with a flat top and four legs. It has two drawers, each with a carved design on the front. The carved design on the drawers and around the chest consists of curved lines and shapes, including rounded leaf-like shapes. The chest appears to be made of dark wood. There are two small knobs on the top drawer and two on the bottom drawer. The background of the image is plain and light-colored. A small label in the bottom-right corner reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART". The chest of drawers by an unknown artist is titled "Chest of Drawers".
