Firemark

Rose Campbell-Gerke

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a relief plaque with an industrial motif. The image features a tall, cylindrical object resembling a furnace or tower, around which is coiled a large snake-like form. The design is encapsulated within an oval frame, and the central figure is surrounded by the letters 'F', 'A' and the numbers '12401'. The style is monochromatic, with emphasis on shading and texture to give the appearance of a three-dimensional metallic plaque.
