Ornamental Iron

Gilbert Sackerman

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a frontal view of an entrance to a building. A paved path leads to stone steps ascending to a double door. The doors are framed by ornate wrought iron railings, an arched canopy, and vibrant orange and yellow flowers. Two small evergreen shrubs are on either side of the staircase. The color palette includes warm beige and tan tones for the bricks and steps, pastel green for the shutters and railings, and soft blues and neutrals for the background windows.
