Cupboard

anoniem, 1607

This large, austere cupboard has elements derived from Classical architecture, such as the three fluted pilasters. The cupboard is ornamented just below the upper edge with whimsical carved human and animal heads. This kind of grand cupboard was usually placed in the voorhuis, or entrance hall of a stately house.
