Cast Iron Balcony Rail

Al Curry

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a drawing of an ornate iron railing design. There are four vertical sections of intricately detailed ironwork, with twisting and intersecting lines forming symmetric patterns. Each section has a circular motif surrounded by curving elements suggesting a floral design. The precision and elegance of the patterns convey a classical design often seen in historic architectural details. The background is plain to highlight the ironwork.
