Horsehair Jewelry

William High

National Gallery of Art

The image features three pieces of jewelry: a large floral-shaped brooch or hairpin with dangling elements, a matching ornate bracelet, and a pair of earrings, all designed with floral motifs and in varying shades of red. The brooch or hairpin is positioned centrally in the upper third, with the bracelet below it and the earrings symmetrically placed near the bottom. The background is an off-white color to highlight the vibrant red of the jewelry.
