This is a drawing of an old wooden door with an oval barred window. The door is constructed from vertical wooden planks with visible metal hinges and a bolt. The oval window near the top right portion of the door is secured with a criss-cross metal grill. Adjacent to the door on the left, handwritten text provides historical context, noting the door's period as 1850 and its origin as an old plantation calaboose door, with mention of its use and current preservation at the Louisiana State Museum. The drawing focuses on the rustic texture of the wood and metal components, emphasizing the historical and functional aspects of the door.
