Flat Iron Holder

Julius Bellamy

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two large objects resembling wrought iron hinges or strap hinges. They are drawn onto a plain, aged-looking background with a yellowish tinge and some spots of discoloration. The largest object is positioned at the bottom center and extends diagonally with intricate curves and loops. The second hinge is above, on the upper half of the image, aligned horizontally, with drawn guidelines separating it from measurements depicted below. The color palette consists mainly of muted greys and blacks for the objects, set against an off-white, slightly stained paper. In the bottom left corner, the words "Julius Dellasay" are visible.
