Tool with Punch Marks

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Tool with Punch Marks by Cy Twombly is a large, irregularly shaped piece of metal with a curved top and straight bottom. The metal appears to be weathered and has a mix of green, brown, and gray colors. There are visible punch marks and a rough texture on the surface. The background of the image is a light beige color. The metal object is positioned vertically, taking up most of the frame, with a slight shadow cast to the right.
