Portable Cabinet with Drawers

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Portable Cabinet with Drawers by an unknown artist is a small, rectangular box made of metal. The box features a handle on top and has a flat top surface with a decorative pattern. The front of the box has a large, rectangular panel with a floral design in shades of brown, gold, and white. The panel is surrounded by a border with geometric patterns and has a latch at the top center. The sides and back of the box also feature decorative panels and geometric patterns. The box appears to have a small footprint and is elevated slightly by short legs at the bottom corners. The overall color palette is warm, with shades of brown, gold, and tan dominating the piece. The background of the image is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The box casts a shadow on the surface below it.
