Corner Cupboard

Ferdinand Cartier

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a wooden cabinet. The image features a detailed architectural drawing of a cabinet with an arched open display and closed doors below. The prominent arched top section includes three tiers inside, enclosed by a semicircular arch with a shell-like decoration at the apex. The double paneled doors below likely provide storage space. The drawing showcases the wood's color with subtle shadings to depict depth, texture, and grain. The design combines functionality and ornamental elements.
