Trestle Table

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The table "Trestle Table" by the artist is a long, dark brown wooden table. The table has a flat top and straight edges. The tabletop is supported by two trestle bases. Each trestle base consists of two legs connected by a foot and a stretcher bar in the middle. The legs are rectangular and taper slightly towards the feet. The feet are flat and wide. The stretcher bar runs between the trestle bases, connecting them. The surface of the table is worn and shows signs of aging. The background of the image is white. The table casts a shadow on the surface below it.
