About this work

This drawing shows a fancy wooden wall with shelves. On the shelves sit lots of ornate boxes, vases, and jars. The wall itself has three big panels with carvings of tools and shields. The whole thing looks heavy and detailed, like something from a grand house. The artist drew this using lines only—no colors. The name at the bottom says *Buffet Exécuté à Marly*, which was likely a real piece of furniture. Want to see more like this? Look up etching.
