Iron Hinges on Door

Bertha Semple

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a wooden door with ornate metal hinges and a lock. The door is depicted with a realistic texture showing a brown finish. The metal hinges have an intricate design featuring curled ends and decorative patterns. In the center of the door, there is a small square window covered with what appears to be a dark, mesh-like layer. The frame surrounding the door is simple, allowing the focus to remain on the door itself. The overall style is detailed and precise.
