Deerskin Covered Chest

Samuel Faigin

National Gallery of Art

A large wooden chest with an aged leather covering and metal rivet details is shown in the image. The color palette consists of earthy tones, including weathered browns and oranges from the leather, with dark iron accents from the metalwork. Positioned centrally, the chest is slightly turned to the right, revealing a handle on its right side and a lock on its front. An additional line drawing of the chest is located at the bottom left corner of the image.
