Brooch c. 1940

Isidore Steinberg’s “Brooch” is a design drawing for a jeweled brooch, a piece of jewelry worn as an ornamental clasp. Steinberg created the drawing c. 1940. The design, in color, depicts a leaf with red-toned gemstones, likely rubies, accented by white stones. Two additional, smaller drawings are included to illustrate the shape of the piece. The brooch is set against a light beige paper background.
