Carved Picture Frame Molding

Vera Van Voris

National Gallery of Art

The image displays rectangular and angular shapes with lines running in various directions, forming an L-shaped arrangement. The use of color and form creates an abstract design resembling a decorative frame corner. The alternating red and brown bands with dotted lines give a three-dimensional appearance, resembling the corner of a picture frame or architectural detail.
