Wrought Iron Balcony Rail

Aurelia Arbo

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a balcony set against a building facade. The drawing features a decorative balcony railing with geometric patterns. Behind the railing, there is a section of the building's exterior wall. A partially open door leading into a darker interior space is visible, with details such as shadows adding to the illusion of depth. The composition balances simplicity and intricacy, playing with light and shadow to create a sense of space.
