Built-in Cupboard

John W. Kelleher

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of an interior space featuring wooden furniture. The painting depicts a corner of a room with three distinctive pieces of wooden furniture. Against one wall, there is a cabinet with a marble or white countertop and a slatted backing, fitted with hooks or a rail. Beside it stands a tall, narrow cupboard with a simple panel design. On the adjacent wall, there is a lower, rectangular cabinet. The floor appears to be made of dark wood, contrasting with the lighter wooden tones of the furniture. The walls are plain, and there appears to be a thin decorative strip running along the upper part of the wall.
