James O'Mara

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a large decorative andiron with elaborate patterns and a tall finial. The color palette includes shades of gold, brass, and light brown. Positioned prominently in the center and slightly right of the drawing, the andiron has a curved base with delicate scrollwork and stands on three small feet. In the top left corner, there is a sketched illustration of a similar design with an indication of the height in inches. The artist's signature, "JAMES O'MARA," is located at the bottom right corner.
