James M. Lawson

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of ornate ironwork fencing. The image features intricately designed wrought ironwork with floral and curvilinear motifs forming a pattern. The background is black, contrasting with the lighter iron color. Two vertical posts anchor the fence, with smaller decorative elements at the top. The design highlights classical decorative ironwork often seen in historic architecture.
