Wrought Iron Cross

Geoffrey Holt

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a cross on a mound. The image shows a decorative cross placed atop a small mound or hill. The design of the cross is elegant, featuring symmetrical ornaments at the ends and points, along with a circular design integrated into its main structure. The base of the cross is embedded into a lightly sketched mound. The background is stark and minimal, drawing attention to the central elements. The signature "Geoffrey Holt" is visible on the lower right corner of the drawing. The overall aesthetic is clean, with an emphasis on the form and detail of the cross.
