Chest

Percival Jenner

National Gallery of Art

This is a detailed architectural or design plan for a piece of furniture. The image features a design elevation of an ornate piece that appears to be a decorative cabinet or chest of drawers. The design includes a classical bust at the top center, flanked by curling ornamental elements and urns on either side. Below these elements are a series of drawers with simple handles. A side view is also shown, displaying a profile of the ornate top section and an intricate pattern along the legs or columns. The style and layout suggest careful craftsmanship and artistic detail.
