Western cabinet with an arrangement of paintings. Room 274 with small Old-Dutch paintings, including a still life by W. Kalf. Crush barriers have been placed in front of the paintings. Western cabinet room 274, Floor mosaic edge and flowers. Simple paneling. 'The cabinets (No. 215-219 and 270-274) were built for paintings of the small size, which the Dutch School is so rich in. Each cabinet receives light through an upright window in the north wall and is vaulted with a cross vault, which shape was preferred over others, because the side walls, in order to be better lit, are not rectangular but placed slightly oblique on the north or outer wall. . Each cabinet thus forms a regular trapezium, the base of which is larger than the opposite side. Some cabinets have simple cross vaults, others have vaults supported on ribs. The painting is different from all of them. Examples of this are given in plates Nos. 40, 41, 52. At the start of the vaults, broad friezes with all kinds of stylized flowers in different shades close off the walls, where the paintings hang. These walls are red-brown or bronze-green, as this is best for the paintings on display; the lighter-hued friezes form a soft transition to the brightly colored vaults, which do much to provide a pleasant and favorable light on the exhibited. In each corner is a corbel bearing the mural arch and the beginning of the vault. In accordance with the construction, which requires that the diagonal arches first separate from the other arches at a certain height, the motifs of the painted decoration leave the horizontal direction at that same height to follow the sloping of the vault construction.
