Trivet

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a metal trivet. The image features two views of a round trivet with intricate scrollwork patterns. The upper part of the drawing shows the top view of the trivet, showcasing the symmetrical, interwoven designs within the circular frame. Supporting the trivet are four small feet which slightly elevate the main surface. Below the top view, there's a side profile and an elevational view, giving an understanding of the trivet’s thickness and the curvature of the design. At the bottom, another view shows the trivet in a more three-dimensional perspective, emphasizing its ornate detailing and casting shadows that provide a sense of depth and sturdiness.
