Wall Cabinet, Hand Carved

Harry Mann Waddell

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of an ornately carved wooden cabinet or wall panel. The piece features intricate detailing, including decorative scrollwork, a prominent depiction of a deer with antlers at the top, and a panel in the center with a relief carving of a bird emerging from flames. The design showcases craftsmanship and artistry, with flowing lines and curves adorned with foliage and rope-like elements. Subtle shading adds depth to the carvings, enhancing the three-dimensional appearance of the wood.
