Wrought Iron Gate

Al Curry

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a wrought iron gate at the main entrance of a building called Cabildo. The drawing showcases a detailed depiction of a large, ornately designed wrought iron gate framed by a stone or brick archway. The gate comprises two sections, each with a grid-like pattern of vertical and horizontal bars. Near the top of the gate, there is a semicircular design with radial bars reminiscent of sunburst patterns. At the bottom of the gate, there is additional ornamental decoration. The text at the bottom annotates the subject as the "Main Entrance Cabildo Wrought Iron Gate."
