Andiron (one of pair)

Jack Staloff

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a decorative fireplace andiron with an intricate design. The andiron has a central column that tapers to a point at the top, a midsection, and a base with three outwardly curved legs ending in claw-like feet. Beside the main drawing, there is a smaller sketch with measurements labeled "INCHES." The drawing highlights the elegance and craftsmanship of the andiron, possibly made of brass based on shading. The artist's signature, "Jack Stroloff," is at the bottom right corner.
