Chest of Drawers

Arthur Johnson

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a wooden chest of drawers. The chest features a rich, dark wood grain pattern, four drawers with ornate golden oval handles, spiraled columns on each side, and stands on four slender tapered legs. The design reflects a classic and sophisticated style, likely rooted in traditional furniture craftsmanship. The painting highlights the beauty and craftsmanship of wooden furniture, with attention to detail and texture, in a style reminiscent of classic furniture illustration or early modern furniture blueprints.
