Brass Andirons

Edward L. Loper

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an ornate, upright metal andiron with a tapering column topped with a bulbous finial and supported by a three-legged base with curved, claw-like feet. The color palette includes shades of brown and gold, giving the object an antique metallic appearance. The andiron is positioned centrally in the image, slightly tilted to the right, with a small, scaled-down sketch of the same object and handwritten notes in the top left corner.
