Cabinet-top Desk

Rolland Livingstone

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a detailed furniture design. The image showcases orthographic projections of a tall, ornate cabinet with drawers and a decorative top. The left side of the image presents a side view of the cabinet, emphasizing its depth and the curved contours of its base and top. The right side offers a frontal view, detailing the symmetrical arrangement of drawers, the double-door cabinet above, and the intricately designed top. The drawing includes precise measurements for constructing the piece, indicative of scale and dimension, which are annotated along the sides and bottom. The overall style and execution suggest a formal and classic design.
