National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a metal bracket. The drawing features two views of a metal bracket. One view is an orthographic projection with measured lines and another is a perspective view showcasing its three-dimensional form. The metal bracket has a triangular shape with a design featuring a large triangular opening in the center, supported by smaller internal triangular structures. The top illustration focuses on the bracket’s side profile, highlighting the geometric structure with technical drawings and annotations. The bottom illustration presents a more three-dimensional view, showcasing the bracket’s depth and contours, likely representing how the bracket would appear in physical space. The shading emphasizes the metallic texture of the object. The signature “R.A. Miralian” appears on the drawing.
