Rosette Mounts

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of two decorative circular designs on a plain background. The image includes two ornate circular designs with intricate detailing, side by side. Each design appears to be inspired by metalwork or jewelry, characterized by symmetrical patterns. The design on the left features concentric circles comprising small sphere-like details and a central raised dome. The right-side design mirrors the radial symmetry but with floral-like motifs, each petal meticulously depicted, centering around a round element. Between the designs, a pair of brackets suggest the relationship of the drawings. The bottom of the drawing contains a ruler or scale for reference, alongside the artist's signature, "B. Johnsson."
