The Dressing Table by artist is a dark reddish-brown wooden piece of furniture with a flat top. The table has a rectangular shape with a beaded edge on the top. It features three drawers across the top and two small drawers below on either side of a carved panel. The drawers have ornate gold-colored handles. The legs are curved and end in a claw-like shape. The front of the table has intricate carvings, including a central panel with an oval design surrounded by foliage. The table is set against a gray background that darkens towards the top. The table casts a shadow on the surface below.
