Flatiron

Gwendolyn Jackson

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a decorative cast iron trivet with a handle on the left. It features an ornate, symmetrical pattern of swirls and curls with several cut-out sections shaped like clover leaves. The color palette is dominated by dark brown tones with hints of gray and rust. The trivet is depicted at an angle, lying on a flat surface with its pointed end slightly raised towards the top right, and the handle facing the bottom left.
