Iron Gate

Ralph Atkinson

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of ornate wrought iron gates. The artwork shows two detailed sections of intricate, swirling and floral wrought iron designs. The left section features symmetrical scrollwork and floral motifs, while the right section displays a partial view with brickwork beneath, suggesting it is attached to a supporting wall. The dark lines and shading in the drawing emphasize the solid and elegant nature of the metalwork against the light background.
