Regina Henderer

Artist, American, 1914 - 1962

The image displays an ornate metal door handle or latch as the largest object, positioned centrally against a plain background. The palette consists of earthy tones, primarily bronze and rust hues, giving the object an antique appearance. The handle's upper section has a tear-drop shape with a small loop at the top, and the handle itself has a twisted design, leading down to a rounded end that mirrors the top curve.
