This bed has a footboard in the foreground, a mattress in the

mattress, instead of drawing it ruler-straight, we give the illusion that
the pillows are receding in the distance, as if they were dipping below
the horizon.
- The base is a simple rectangle, which recedes into the distance,
due to perspective. - Lines A, B, and C slope very slightly upward, toward the left. This
means that there must be a vanishing point somewhere off the page
toward the upper left. - The corner, coming at the viewer, is our clue that this is two-point
perspective.
