John W. Kelleher's "Shaker Secretary Desk" is a watercolor drawing depicting a Shaker-style desk with a drop-down front. The desk features a top section with a cabinet and drawers, a middle section with open shelves and drawers, and a bottom section with four drawers. The piece is characterized by its simple design and functionality, consistent with the principles of the Shaker movement. The artwork was created in 1937 and measures 10 3/4 x 8 3/4 inches. This design drawing likely served as a blueprint for constructing a full-sized Shaker Secretary Desk.
