Dressing table

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Dressing table by the artist, specifically an antique piece of furniture, has a rectangular top and a rich, dark brown wood finish. There are two long drawers and one short drawer on the front. The drawers are adorned with gold-colored handles. Four legs with curved shapes and paw-like feet support the table. A decorative shell-shaped carving is on the front between the legs. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The overall design is ornate and traditional.
