Writing Arm Chair

Rolland Livingstone

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of technical plans for a candle shelf with a drawer. The image depicts three views of the structure: a side view, a front view labeled 'Candle Shelf,' and an illustration of a 'Drawer.' Each view is detailed with clean, straight lines. The side view illustrates the overall shape and attachments, while the front view offers a slightly more zoomed-in representation. The drawing of the drawer provides a simple, straightforward look at the component's shape. The precise lines and labeled parts suggest this is a design schematic used for construction or manufacturing purposes.
