Brooch c. 1937

This design for a brooch by Isidore Steinberg from circa 1937 is a study in red and white. The piece is formed in the shape of a stylized leaf, crafted from red gemstones and punctuated by a line of white gems across its center. The brooch is depicted in the drawing with pencil sketches of its back and side views to show the fastening mechanism and construction. The use of red and white gems creates a visual contrast and highlights the organic, flowing form of the design. This drawing offers a glimpse into the design process of a renowned jeweler, showcasing Steinberg's artistic vision and attention to detail.
