Earring

Theodore Kraus

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a design drawing of a pair of earrings. One earring is shown from the front on the left side, while the side view of the same earring is on the right. The earrings have an elongated tear-drop shape with a decorative frame encircling a reddish-brown central stone. The color scheme includes metallic gold tones, with touches of earthy red, green, and black accents. The front view features the earring centered vertically, and the side view displays the curved hook and delicate appendages below the stone.
