Iron Work on Doorway

Al Curry

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of an ornate architectural gate. The drawing exhibits a detailed illustration of a decorative gateway showcasing intricate ironwork with elements such as scrolls, foliage, and small animal figures. The larger, isolated section highlights the design of the metalwork, which includes curves and natural motifs. There's a smaller section to the right featuring the full gateway, including vertical bars and an overhanging decorative element at the top. The caption "GATEWAY TO COURT" suggests it serves as an entryway to a significant area.
