Andiron

Hans Korsch, after Paul Revere

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a detailed drawing of an ornate fireplace andiron with a gracefully curving stand and claw-like feet, presented prominently in the center. It is rendered in golden and brown hues against a soft, off-white background. To the left is a scaled technical drawing of the andiron showing its height and proportions using a grid with measurements in inches. The andiron is slightly tilted to the right, casting a shadow to the left and downward. The artist's name "Hans Korsch" and the year "1936" are inscribed in the bottom right corner.
