Andiron (one of pair)

Hans Korsch

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a pair of ornate andirons. The main focus is a richly rendered brass andiron in the lower right half, while a line drawing and partial rendering of the same design is in the upper left. The color palette includes muted golden-brown tones for the primary andiron and grayscale tones for the sketches. Positioned in the foreground, the three-dimensional brass andiron stands prominently, casting subtle shadows, while the outlined sketches sit in the upper left corner. The name "Hans Korsch 1956" appears in the lower right corner.
