Edward L. Loper

National Gallery of Art

This is a detailed painting of an ornamental part of a wrought-iron piece, like a fence or railing. The design features scrollwork and floral motifs, including bird figures and stylized leaves, with a central rose element surrounded by smaller flowers. The railing is positioned at the center of the painting, with horizontal lines visible on the top and bottom edges. The background is off-white. An inset diagram in the lower right corner displays the dimensions and outlines of the sculpture, along with the name "Edward Loper".
