Cabinet, Pierre Gole (possibly), c. 1645 - c. 1650
During the early 17th century cabinetmakers from the Netherlands and Germany established themselves in Paris and introduced the art of veneered furniture. This involved covering inferior wood carcasses with thin layers of exotic and expensive woods. This ebonyveneered cabinet is an example of the production that
arose at that time. It features carved biblical scenes and has a richly ornamented interior.

in reply to how to do anything • • •This is a top-down view of an outdoor scene, likely a yard or driveway, with a red riding lawnmower cutting a circular pattern in the grass. A figure is depicted operating the lawnmower, positioned on the vehicle. The lawnmower is red with four black tires and a black seat. A bright red spiral line traces the path the lawnmower has taken, curving inward towards the center of the circle. The background appears to be a grey textured surface, possibly representing buildings or other yard features, but details are minimal.
