Mirror

Nicholas Gorid

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of an ornate mirror design. The drawing depicts a rectangular mirror with a gracefully ornate frame. The frame features intricate scrollwork with a central urn at the top that is accentuated by an elaborate symmetrical design, including stylized leaves and dangling elements reminiscent of tassels. The color scheme emphasizes soft pastel shades in the mirror itself, surrounded by warm browns and golden tones in the frame detailing. The entire artwork is rendered on a pale, neutral background.
