Chest with drawer

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Chest with drawer by an unknown artist shows a black wooden chest with a floral design. The chest is rectangular with a flat top and four short legs. The chest has a drawer at the front with two metal knobs in the center. The chest and drawer fronts are adorned with a colorful floral design featuring red, orange, yellow, and green flowers and leaves. The sides of the chest also have a similar floral design. The chest appears to be old and worn, with some chipped paint and a distressed finish. The background of the image is white.
