Wrought Iron Cross

Aurelia Arbo

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of an ornamental cross on a base. The cross is detailed, made of what appears to be wrought iron, and is positioned on a solid-looking base. There are architectural features in the background. In the upper right corner, there is an additional decorative element that resembles a stylized emblem or crest. The focus is on the precision and elegance of the cross and its designs against the backdrop.
