label: Description
content: Two drawings for commodes. The top drawing depicts the cabinet as having an angelic mask in the center, at the top, surrounded by curving, vine-like designs. On the upper corner of the first commode, there is a grotesque, diabolic head. The second commode is similar, but without the mask or head and with a slightly varied pattern. The plate is signed and numbered.
