Details of Dining Room Table

Howard Weld

National Gallery of Art

The drawing depicts a piece of furniture or architectural detail with two vertical legs hanging down, one with a spiraled pattern shading and the other with a segmented cylindrical shape. The horizontal beam they are attached to includes details such as dove-tail joints and other carpentry elements. The style is technical and precise, similar to architectural or engineering drawings.
