Design for a Monstrance

Anonymous

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a detailed drawing of a monstrance. The monstrance has a round center with a border. Radiating from the center are numerous long, thin lines resembling rays. At the top, four cherubs are positioned between the rays. The base of the monstrance features an ornate design with curved lines and shapes. A decorative oval frame with a figure inside is at the bottom. The background of the drawing is aged paper with visible stains and marks. Small sketches are in the corners and middle of the paper. The monstrance appears to be a design for a religious object.
