Drawer Pull

Janet Riza

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of an ornamental brass object. The image depicts a detailed design of a brass plate, likely a drawer pull or handle, viewed from the front and side. The central oval plate features an engraving of an eagle with outstretched wings, flanked by two circular knobs at either end. The side view highlights the profile of the handle. The design is delicately rendered, with attention to realistic shading and dimensionality. The architect's scale and name appear at the bottom of the drawing.
