Iron Balcony Garde

Al Curry

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of an architectural element with detailed measurements. The drawing features an ornate wrought-iron gate named "Garde de Frise" above a parapet with a geometric pattern on its base. The gate has a semi-circular arch with sharp spikes for security. There is intricate scrollwork in the central design of the semi-circle. Measurements show dimensions of 70 inches tall and 47 inches wide, with additional notations. The style is clean and precise, typical of architectural drawings for construction or decorative applications.
