介绍（中）	像这样的纪念橱柜是17世纪上半叶荷兰北部制造的最昂贵、最令人印象深刻的家具之一这个四门的例子包括一个底座和两个主要部分，顶部是一个宽的雕带和一个突出的飞檐。上部和下部由一个前部凸起的大抽屉分隔开。这件非凡的雕刻作品丰富地装饰了橱柜的正面和雕带，其中包括对神学美德、信仰、希望和慈善的引用，对三种基本美德（谨慎、正义和坚韧）、四位福音传道者以及圣经场景的引用这是为数不多的有日期的beeldenkasten之一（1622年4月27日，雕刻在橱柜的左鼓上，展示了大卫王弹奏竖琴的画面；他旁边的桌子上标明了日期）。这个日期可能意味着特殊的意义，也许是一场婚礼，因为大橱柜经常被委托给新娘，或者赠送给新娘，用来存放亚麻布这个华丽的橱柜体现了橱柜制造商和雕刻大师的合作。公会的规定禁止橱柜制造商进行除最简单的雕刻以外的任何雕刻。这里雕刻的显著细节很可能改编自流行的印刷品或圣经插图不同寻常的是，橱柜是用奇特的龙脚支撑的，而不是更典型的球脚。
介绍（英）	Monumental cabinets such as this example were amongst the most expensive and impressive pieces of furniture made in the Northern Netherlands during the first half of the seventeenth century. This four-door example consists of a base and two main sections topped by a broad frieze and a protruding cornice. The upper and lower sections are separated by a large drawer with a convex front. Richly decorating the cabinet’s façade and frieze, the extraordinary carving includes references to the Theological Virtues, Faith, Hope and Charity, to three of the Cardinal Virtues (Prudence, Justice and Fortitude), the Four Evangelists as well as Biblical scenes. This is one of the few beeldenkasten which is dated (April 27, 1622, carved on the left drum of the cupboard and showing King David playing his harp; the table beside him indicating the date). This date possibly denotes special significance, perhaps a wedding, since large cupboards were often commissioned for, or presented to a bride, and were used to store linens. This magnificent cabinet reflects the collaboration of both a cabinetmaker and a master carver. Guild regulations prevented a cabinetmaker from executing anything more than the simplest of carvings. The remarkable details of the carvings here were most likely adapted from popular print sources or Bible illustrations. Unusually, the cabinet is supported on fanciful dragon’s feet rather than the more typical ball feet.
