This engraving shows tiny jewelry pieces with geometric shapes. The artist drew three teardrop shapes and two crosses as earrings. Lines are sharp and precise. The work is a study in pattern and symmetry. Tiny dots and lines create texture on the metal surfaces. It feels like a page from a jeweler’s notebook. See it at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
