Side Board-Sheraton

Edgar L. Pearce

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a sideboard. The drawing depicts a wooden sideboard or buffet with detailed illustrations that showcase a classic and elegant design. The main subject is the front view of the sideboard, which features several drawers and decorative pulls. Above the main drawing are four smaller sketches. The first sketch on the left depicts a decorative seal or emblem. The second sketch presents a top-down view of the piece, highlighting the configuration of its corners. The third sketch shows a side elevation, revealing the profile of the sideboard, while the fourth sketch provides a detail of a component of the sideboard, possibly the cornice. The piece is rendered with attention to architectural detail. The use of shading and linework gives the drawing a three-dimensional quality.
