Iron Work on Balcony

Al Curry

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of cast iron balcony railing and brackets. The image presents detailed decorative designs of cast iron railings and brackets on the left side. To the right, there is a framed illustration of a residential street scene featuring a two-story building with balconies, lined with similar decorative railings. The building appears to have a classical architectural style, and in the foreground, a vehicle is visible parked on the street, while another architectural structure is seen in the background. The drawing combines architectural blueprints with a picturesque portrayal of how these elements are integrated into a real-world setting.
