Carved Frame of Bunk

Margaret Gordon

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of an architectural detail. The drawing depicts an intricately carved frame or border of a structure. The upper and side edges of the frame are lined with a series of repeating circular designs. The vertical element is adorned with a sequence of geometric and floral patterns, and an arch extends from the vertical element to the horizontal edge. The positioning suggests it is part of a doorway or another architectural opening within a structure. The title on the drawing indicates it is from the USS Hartford.
