Cast Iron Rail and Gate

Aurelia Arbo

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of an ornate metal fence. The detailed depiction shows a wrought-iron fence segment with intricate geometric patterns. The fence panels consist of repeating hexagon and diamond shapes and are topped with fleuron-like finials. The texture and shadowing suggest that the fence is made from heavy metal materials. The lines are clear and precise, capturing the robustness and symmetry of the design.
