Architectural Ornament c. 1936

"Architectural Ornament" is a c. 1936 drawing by American architect William Kerby (1855-1995), depicting a design for an arched architectural detail. Kerby's architectural ornamentation features a stylized floral motif enclosed by a stone archway, executed in pencil on paper. The design showcases a refined blend of classical and Art Deco styles. The symmetrical arrangement and carefully rendered details underscore the precision and artistic sensibility of Kerby's architectural vision.
