Trivet

Genevieve Jordan

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of an ornate, triangular-shaped, metallic object. The object features intricate openwork designs and symmetrical patterns. The upper part of the object has two looping elements. Within the triangular section, there are two fish-like shapes facing each other near the top. Below them, a circular form is placed in the center, followed by shell-like shapes at the bottom. The drawing captures the detailed and elaborate craftsmanship of the object against a plain, neutral background.
