Flatiron Holder

Holger Hansen

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a relief portrait of a man in profile. The man's features include a pronounced nose and a receding hairline, with attire that appears formal. The sculpture is made of a material resembling iron or a similar metal, suggested by its dark coloration and reflective surface. The portrait is encased within a shield-like frame with a handle extending from the base. Alongside the relief, there is a smaller schematic or blueprint-like inset of the sculpture, showing its shape and dimensions relative to a measurement scale.
