Study of Moldings

John Russell Pope

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of architectural details. The image features a pencil sketch of an architectural frieze and cross-section. The drawing includes a horizontal row of ornate decorative elements including circular and floral motifs, set within a framework of parallel lines. A large circular element is located at the center of these decorations. In the lower portion of the page, a vertical section shows a side view of a column or structural profile with intricately designed moldings and curves. Both drawings exhibit detailed ornamental designs that may belong to classical or ornate architectural styles.
