Lance

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Lance by artist Eugène Boudin depicts a long, thin, silver-colored metal spearhead with a pointed tip, tapering to a narrower point at the top. The spearhead is attached to a dark brown or black wooden shaft. The spearhead has a slight ridge running down the center, and its edges are slightly wavy. The background of the image is a plain light gray color.
