Shaker Drop-leaf Table

Howard Weld

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a wooden table with a rectangular top supported by four slender, turned legs. The table is light brown with a subtle sheen, resembling polished wood. The background is a plain, light beige or cream color. Positioned in the center of the image, the table's front two legs are straight but angled, while the back legs follow suit. A drawer is visible at the front of the table below the tabletop. A shadow extends from the legs of the table towards the right, indicating the direction of a light source on the left.
