Medicine Chest

Joseph L. Boyd

National Gallery of Art

The image displays an open wooden case containing a collection of glass bottles of different sizes and shapes neatly organized within compartments. The colors in the image include warm brown tones of the wood and soft hues of blue, green, white, and clear glass. The wooden case has hinged doors, with smaller bottles on the inner sides and larger bottles on the main shelves. A brass handle is fixed on top of the case, and the composition is set against a neutral background.
