Pa. German Dower Chest

Joseph Rothenberg

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a wooden chest. The drawing shows three views of the chest: a front elevation, a side elevation, and a top view. The chest has two drawers with ornate handles and is mounted on curved feet or a plinth. The design is depicted with precise lines and measurements, indicating a technical approach to the drawing. The drawer pulls and the keyhole are detailed. The presence of "SCALE 1/2"=1' " suggests this is a technical architectural or furniture design drawing.
