Salt Cellar

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of ornate decorative designs. The drawing features three separate sections of elaborate blue designs against a beige background. The central design depicts an intricate, symmetrical ornament with a series of curls and possibly floral motifs. The top right section shows a square element labeled "END," displaying a similar, yet more compact, ornate design with scroll-like and wave patterns. The bottom left section is marked "BOTTOM," presenting a rectangular ornament with similar curvilinear elements. The designs have an architectural or sculptural feel, suggesting elements of classical or intricate design work. The arrangement is clean with thin, neat outlines that separate each section.
