The image depicts a sculptural andirons stand with ornate top and intricate details leading to clawed, cast iron feet. The color palette is golden-yellow with shadows and highlights to emphasize the metallic structure. Positioned upright and centered, it is beside a horizontal element suggesting its functional extension. The plain, light background features the artist's name, Hans Korsch, inscribed on the lower left.
