Mirror - Chippendale Style

James M. Lawson

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of an ornate mirror frame. The frame is elegantly designed with a rich wooden appearance, featuring intricate golden decorative elements around its edges. The top of the frame has a detailed carving of a bird spreading its wings above floral motifs. The outer edges have decorative curves and scrolls, adding an element of Rococo or Baroque flair. In the top left corner, a smaller inset drawing of the frame provides a sketch of the frame's dimensions and structure.
