The Breastplate by Hans Prunner shows a metal breastplate with a rounded top and curved sides. It appears to be made of steel or iron. The breastplate has a smooth surface with visible spots and marks. A black material, likely fabric or leather, lines the inside. A metal piece extends down from the bottom. A gray background surrounds the breastplate, with a lighter area on the right side. The breastplate sits on a white stand.
