Window Cornice

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a long, narrow, dark-colored architectural element, the Window Cornice by artist Andrea Del Verrocchio. The element has a flat top and bottom with decorative molding on the top and bottom edges. The main body of the element features a Greek key pattern, a continuous band of interlocking, curved shapes. The element is supported by a small, rectangular block underneath, centered. The background of the image is a plain gray surface, with a lighter gray wall behind the architectural element. The photograph is in black and white.
