Cast Iron Railing c. 1936

Lucien Verbeke's "Cast Iron Railing" (c. 1936) is a watercolor design for a cast-iron railing, featuring a repeating motif of grapevines and leaves. The intricate details, including the delicate rendering of the grapes and the delicate curves of the vines, showcase Verbeke's skill as a draftsman. The design, likely intended for a balcony or other architectural feature, exemplifies the decorative use of cast iron in the early 20th century. The watercolor medium adds a sense of elegance and detail to the design, highlighting the intricate beauty of the railing's form.
