James McLellan

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a decorative wall bracket. The image depicts a metal wall-mounted bracket with multiple views and angles. The side profile view showcases the design elements like a looped top and circular attachment point mounted on a wooden wall. Additional sketches show a top view displaying the structural framework, a simplified side view with a scale note, and various other angles highlighting the structure and elegance of the bracket. The artwork seems to serve as a technical drawing or design plan.
