Iron Fence

Mary E. Humes

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of an ornamental railing. The image features a symmetrical iron-like fence design with intricate crisscross latticework patterns along its length. Positioned centrally is an urn-shaped object above the fence line. At the base, a rectangular platform supports the entire structure embellished with small, evenly spaced, symmetrical diamond patterns. The background is uncolored. The drawing suggests a precise and measured artistic approach.
