Bridal Chest

John Koehl

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a wooden box with folk art designs. The artwork showcases a three-dimensional depiction of a box with traditional and rustic aesthetics. One side features two figures in red clothing and black hats, a brown deer with antlers, a trumpet, a staff, and red garland patterns. The opposite side shows a bird, a red goblet, and a semi-circular shape within a circle border. The box is bordered in deep blue against a beige-toned background.
