Artist, American, 1882 - 1957

This is a drawing of two ornate andirons. The image depicts a pair of intricately designed metal andirons. Each andiron is symmetrically crafted with a tall, turned shaft that tapers at the top and bottom, ending in a smoothly rounded finial. The lower part of the andirons features elegantly curved legs that rest on small, rounded feet. The metal is rendered in a bright, polished tone, suggesting materials like brass or bronze. The backdrop of the drawing is plain.
