Artist, American, 1880 - 1946

This is a painting of a wooden cabinet with glass doors. The painting features a classic wooden cabinet with an upper section of glass doors revealing shelves filled with books of various colors. The elegant arch designs within the glass doors suggest a Gothic architectural influence. Below, cabinet doors made of wood display a symmetrical pattern likely imitating the natural wood grain. This is in style of Eileen Knox, as indicated by the signature on the lower right side of the image.
