Secretary-desk Cabinet Top

Eugene Croe

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a wooden secretary desk with an upper cabinet featuring two closed doors and a lower section with an open fold-down writing surface, revealing cubbyholes inside. Two candlesticks are placed symmetrically on the lower shelf of the cabinet. The wood has a warm, medium-brown tone, accented with brass hardware. The secretary desk is positioned upright and centered in the image against a plain background. The artist's signature, "Eugene Croe," is near the bottom right of the piece.
