Brooch

William P. Shearwood

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two ornate brooch designs. The largest brooch on the left features a gold butterfly-like shape with three dangling purple gemstones. The smaller brooch on the right is fashioned in a similar gold style with a central purple gemstone. The color palette includes gold, purple, and hints of orange. These brooches are placed centrally within the drawing, which is set against a plain, light background.
