This is a drawing of a metal object. The drawing shows a detailed representation of an ornate andiron with a spiraling, tiered structure atop a scrolling base. The object appears to be made of metal, possibly brass or a similar alloy, given its golden color and reflective surface. The design includes scroll-like elements and a central knob. In the background, a faint sketched version of the object is visible. The drawing is signed by Hans Korsch.
