Crescent - Butted Strap Hinge

Donald Streeter

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a detailed pencil drawing of a large object that resembles a long, flat tool with a broad, rounded end tapering to a narrower end. The color palette is monochromatic in shades of gray typical of pencil sketches. The large object is depicted horizontally across the upper part of the image, with a smaller side-view drawing positioned beneath it. In the center of the lower section, there is a scale marked "SCALE OF INCHES" for dimensional reference. The composition is centered within a rectangular frame.
