"Furniture Hardware," a drawing by American artist Henry Kellam Hancock (1816–1851), depicts six intricately detailed keyhole escutcheons. The drawing, created between 1820 and 1830, showcases Hancock’s keen eye for decorative detail. The intricate floral motifs and delicate lines of the escutcheons are rendered with precision, capturing the beauty of these functional objects. This drawing is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and measures a petite 2 3/4 x 2 11/16 inches.
