Cross c. 1937

"Cross" is a technical drawing by Manuel G. Runyan, executed in 1937. It is a detailed rendering of an elaborate cross design, likely intended for a cemetery. The drawing showcases Runyan's skill in capturing the intricate details of the metalwork, from the curved forms of the base to the simple yet powerful cross at the top. The inclusion of a smaller drawing of a gate suggests a complete design for a funerary monument, highlighting Runyan's architectural sensibilities. The artwork, measuring 11 x 9 inches, provides a glimpse into the artistry of metalwork design in the early 20th century.
