'The cabinets (No. 215-219 and 270-274) are built for small-size paintings to which the Hollandsche School is so rich. Each cabinet receives light through a straight window in the northern wall and is vaulted with a cross vault, which was preferred to shape above others, because the side walls, in order to be better illuminated, are not rectangular but somewhat obliquely placed on the northern or outer wall. Each cabinet therefore forms a regular trapezoid, the basis of which is greater than the opposite side. Some cabinets have simple cross vaults, others have carried vaults on ribs. Of all, the painting is different. Examples of this give the plates No 40, 41, 52. At the beginning of the vaults, wide friezes with all kinds of stylized flowers in different shades seal the walls, while the paintings hang. These walls are reddish-brown or bronze-green, depending on the best fit for the paintings on display; the lighter-toned friezes form a gentle transition to the brightly coloured vaults, which contribute a lot to a pleasant and favorable light on the exhibit. In each corner is a collar stone that bears the muraal arch and the beginning of the vault. In accordance with the construction, which requires that first at some extent the diagonal arches separate from the other arches, the motifs of the painted decoration at the same height leave the horizontal direction to follow the oblique of the vault construction. (fig 52 fig 2)' (De Stuers) In 1886, the lower parts of the windows were covered. In 1889 double windows were installed, in 1902 awn. During the renovation of F.A. Eschauzier, some passages between the cabinets were moved so that an alternation was created.
