Pierced Metal Screen from Confessional

Geoffrey Holt

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a rectangular object with an intricately patterned design. It features a repeated symmetrical pattern of small holes, creating a lace or filigree effect. The design is composed of fine dots arranged in a floral or ornamental motif within the rectangle. The background is blank, emphasizing the detailed pattern. Measurements are included to indicate the dimensions of the object. The surface of the rectangle appears worn and textured, possibly representing an antique artifact. The signature "Geoffrey Holt" is shown in the lower right corner.
