Doors (Inside View)

Geoffrey Holt

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a door front with detailed architectural notes. The image features a centrally positioned double-door design, sketched with precision and labeled as "Door Front" at the top. The doors have a rustic appearance, highlighted by a turquoise-blue hue and accented with visible weathering. The hinges and lock appear to be made of metal and show signs of wear, adding to the antique feel of the door. Surrounding the door are architectural details showcasing various moldings and sections such as "Capitol" and "Base." Lines lead from parts of the door to these notes, offering insights into their cross-sectional profiles. At the bottom, the name "Geoffrey Holt" is inscribed.
