Shaker Chest of Drawers

John W. Kelleher

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a wooden chest of drawers. It depicts a medium-sized, rectangular wooden chest with a natural wood finish, two pull-out drawers with circular knob handles, a simple structure, a flat top surface, slightly tapered legs, and visible wood grain. There are no elaborate decorations, and the background is plain and neutral, emphasizing the wooden chest. The style is reminiscent of John Singleton Copley with attention to detail and realistic depiction.
