Iron Balcony

Aurelia Arbo

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a staircase with an iron railing and a window. The image portrays a detailed architectural section featuring a stone staircase with ornate iron railings. The railings display intricate scrollwork and ovals, casting a crisscross of shadows across the stone steps below. Beside the staircase, there is a window with simple framing. The drawing is composed of fine lines and stippling, giving a sense of texture to the stone surface and depth to the architectural elements.
