Box

Majel G. Claflin

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of an ornately carved wooden box. The rectangular box is depicted with intricate patterns on its sides and top surface. The carvings consist of symmetrical, decorative motifs that appear floral or leaf-like, with pointed edges and star shapes interspersed throughout. The design is bold and linear, creating a textured, three-dimensional effect through varying shades of brown and orange. The box rests upon a neutral, off-white background. The artist’s name and the year "1905" are inscribed in the lower left corner.
