Karl Joubert

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a drawing of a mold or press design with a bas-relief of a man's portrait. The design includes a detailed tool or decorative object with an intricately carved handle leading to an oval shape featuring the relief of a man's head. The composition includes the main drawing of the object from a slightly top-angled perspective, a smaller detailed view of the relief, and construction measurements. The drawing uses shading to give a sense of depth and dimension to the object, emphasizing the intricacy of the carved portrait within the mold.
