Tilt-top Table

Holger Hansen

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a round wooden table with a detailed depiction of its base. The drawing includes both an overhead view of the table showing its circular shape and an undercarriage illustrating the support mechanism. Additionally, there's a profile view of the table's side showing its three-legged pedestal stand with intricate carvings. A hand is depicted grasping a cord or strap. The drawing seems to exhibit a technical and precise style, likely used for a design or architectural illustration.
