Two Models of Diagonal Framing c. 1822

"Two Models of Diagonal Framing" is an anonymous work of art from c. 1822 that consists of two wooden frames, both comprised of a series of interlocking diagonal slats. The frames are presented side by side, allowing viewers to compare the two different wood tones and the slight differences in the structure of the frames. This artwork is a testament to the beauty of simple forms and the elegance of craftsmanship, and highlights the aesthetic appeal of utilitarian objects. The piece can be appreciated by those interested in the intersection of art and engineering, as well as those with an appreciation for the history of woodworking and construction.
