Earrings

John H. Tercuzzi

National Gallery of Art

The image features two pairs of large black earrings with distinctive designs, displayed against a plain off-white background. The color palette is primarily black and gold, with the earrings standing out sharply against the lighter backdrop. Positioned on the left side of the image, the first pair consists of a circular top with two gold bands and four elongated drops hanging below. On the right side, the second earring features a single black point with a gold hook and a small geometric design extending sideways.
