Trivet

Dorothee L. Bates

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of two decorative iron objects. The image features two intricately designed iron trivet-like objects. The top object is shaped like an elongated teardrop with a openwork design that includes circular and curved motifs in a symmetrical pattern with a handle-like extension at one end. The lower object is more elongated and flat, with a similar openwork pattern but more linear and with finer details. Both objects are depicted on a plain background.
