Table

American 20th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a drawing of a wooden table with a polished, rounded top in color, while the base, with intricate carvings and clawfoot legs, is drawn in pencil. The tabletop's dominant color is rich brown with visible wood grain, contrasting with the gray pencil base. Positioned centrally, the tabletop is prominent with the base directly beneath it, displaying detailed craftsmanship extending to the footed ends. The table is upright, capturing a sense of balance and symmetry as outlined in the sketch.
