EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of American furniture from the late 18th to early 19th century. The Chest of Drawers, created between 1780 and 1810, is attributed to the skilled craftsmanship of John Dunlap and/or Samuel Dunlap. Painted with exquisite wood grain patterns, this Chippendale-style chest is a true testament to their artistry. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago's Arts of the Americas gallery, this heritage artwork stands as a symbol of America's rich artistic history. Its soft maple and eastern white pine construction further adds to its allure. The trompe l'oeil technique employed in painting creates an optical illusion that mimics real wood grain flawlessly.

This chest embodies both elegance and practicality with its multiple drawers providing ample storage space. The Chest of Drawers not only represents exceptional craftsmanship but also serves as a reflection of American culture and identity.
