Gerald Transpota

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a saddle design process, starting with a pencil sketch and progressing to a fully colored drawing. The floral patterns and rounded forms stand out. The color palette shifts from soft grays to light yellows, oranges, browns, and deep browns with shading. The series shows the development of the design from initial sketch to final vibrant illustration.
