This pencil drawing by Robert William Hume is a design for a table in the Louis XIV style. The intricate carvings on the table’s legs and the shape of the table top are characteristic of furniture designs from the reign of Louis XIV of France (1643-1715). The drawing, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, would have been created for a client who wanted to have a custom-made table in this popular style.
