Bombe Front Chest of Drawers

Alfred H. Smith

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a wooden chest of drawers. The chest has a rich, reddish-brown wood finish with a curved front. The drawer fronts have brass handles and escutcheons. The base has four cabriole legs with carved detailing and ball-and-claw feet. The style indicates a traditional design, possibly influenced by 18th-century craftsmanship. The background is a light color, and the style resembles Thomas Chippendale's work.
