Helen Hobart

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a circular object with intricate patterns. It features two views of a round object with an ornate, circular lattice design. The upper portion of the drawing shows a detailed line drawing of the object, complete with scale indicators beneath it. The lower portion presents a more detailed illustration of the same object from a slightly different perspective, highlighting its pattern and structure. The object has a symmetrical, radiating design similar to a wheel or cog with openwork details. The craftsmanship suggests it is made of metal due to its structure and form, possibly serving a functional or decorative purpose.
