Scroll Work

Margaret Gordon

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of an ornamental design. It features a horizontal band with a repeating pattern of scroll-like shapes and curves. The pattern is symmetrically arranged with contrasting dark and light areas, giving it a carved or cut-out appearance. The design is balanced, with the scrollwork pattern at the center, surrounded by a plain background. The precise lines and symmetry suggest it may be a technical or architectural drawing for decorative purposes.
