Mantel Carving

Michael Riccitelli

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a square wooden panel with a central circular element surrounded by four symmetrical floral or leaf-like patterns extending toward each corner. The color palette consists primarily of warm browns and wood tones, accentuating the natural grain and depth of the design. The panel is centrally positioned within the composition, with ample space surrounding it, giving prominence to the detailed work in the center of the frame.
