Metal Ecclesiastical Object 1850 - 1900

This anonymous drawing depicts a detailed rendering of a metal ecclesiastical object. The artwork, executed in a light blue wash and black chalk on paper, showcases a circular design with intricate tracery that likely adorned a church or religious structure. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the carefully rendered curves and flourishes of the design, which was created between 1850 and 1900. This drawing, currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, provides a glimpse into the artistic styles and architectural details of the 19th century.
