Design for Two Square Tables with Carved Legs 1800 - 1850

This anonymous drawing from the early 19th century is a design for two square tables with intricately carved legs. The tables feature a simple rectangular top, supported by an X-shaped base. The carved detail on the legs is highly stylized, with swirling motifs and a sense of movement. The artist has included two views of the table, allowing the viewer to fully appreciate the design. This drawing, held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a valuable example of design work from this period.
