Block Front Desk with Cabinet Top

Jack Bochner

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a wooden cabinet. The drawing depicts a tall, ornate cabinet likely designed for storage. The cabinet features a curved top design with a series of double arches. The front view shows two main sections: an upper portion with enclosed shelves behind double doors, and a lower portion with two levels of drawers. Each drawer has metallic handles. The side view shows a slanted backing. The cabinet stands on short, ball-turned feet. The drawing demonstrates precision and symmetry typical of furniture schematics.
