Lectern (Reading Stand)

David P Willoughby

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts multiple wooden objects on a light beige background. Two standalone wooden stands are the largest items, with one having a flat top and the other an angled top. To the left are a small rectangular box, an ornate wooden backrest shape, and a cross-like shape. To the right is a small arching component resembling a shrine alcove. Below these objects are centrally placed stands, each with a sturdy base. The arrangement is symmetrical and evenly spaced across the canvas.
