Cross

Lucien Verbeke

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of an iron cross surmounting a cemetery gate. The image depicts a detailed architectural drawing showing an iron cross at the top of a wrought iron gate used for a cemetery entrance. The cross features ornate scrollwork that curves symmetrically at the base of the cross. The gate beneath the cross appears to be composed of vertical iron bars topped with decorative elements. Two masonry pillars flank the gate. Dimensions are annotated on the drawing, providing measurements for the cross and related elements. The drawing includes a detailed inset of the entire gate.
