This anonymous drawing from the late 18th or early 19th century is a design for a marble-topped cabinet with a musical ornament. The cabinet is adorned with a diamond-shaped pattern and features delicate details like fluted columns and a floral motif on the base. The center panel showcases a musical instrument, likely a violin, surrounded by foliage, creating a harmonious visual balance. The drawing's simple lines and clear composition make it a valuable example of design from the period.
