This is a drawing of a wooden cabinet. It shows a piece of wooden furniture, likely a cabinet or sideboard with a semi-circular front. The top is flat and rectangular with a softly rounded edge along the front. Below, four small drawers with round handles are lined up horizontally. Underneath the drawers, there is a larger door with a vertically ribbed texture. The cabinet stands on four slender, turned legs with brass toe caps that lift the piece slightly above the ground. The wood has a polished finish, emphasizing the grain.
