19
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Details of ironwork in church of St. Maria in Capitol, Cologne is a 19 by Somers Clarke, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a black-and-white drawing of two rows of ornate ironwork. The top row has a repeating pattern of scrolls and circles, while the bottom row curves slightly, with smaller, leaf-like shapes. The lines are precise but light, almost like a sketch. The drawing was made in 1865 by an artist studying real architectural details. The notes on the page describe how the iron was constructed, with terms like "double bead" and "back plate." If you like this kind of careful drawing, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
The artwork is a pencil drawing depicting details of ironwork in the church of St. Maria in Capitol, Cologne.
