"Trivet" is a detailed drawing by Albert Rudin, created around 1939. Rudin's work often focuses on the intricate details of everyday objects, as seen in this depiction of a metal trivet. The delicate design of the trivet's circular base, featuring a complex arrangement of circular and leaf-like motifs, highlights Rudin's meticulous attention to detail and his skill in capturing the texture and form of metal objects. The drawing, executed in graphite on paper, captures the trivet's three-dimensional form and its functional purpose.
