Lady's Buckles

Charles Criswell

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two identical octagonal shapes with circular designs in the center. The abstract shapes within the circles resemble a balanced scale or a tuning fork, with a mix of horizontal and vertical lines. These elements are encased in concentric circles, creating a lens or watch face effect. Both designs are set on light-colored backgrounds, giving the impression of framed photographs or scientific diagrams.
