Fireman's Helmet

Eugene Bartz

National Gallery of Art

The image features a vintage fireman's helmet as the largest object, made of glossy black material with a prominent embossed golden emblem on the front. The helmet has a silver eagle figure protruding from the top. The color palette consists of black, gold, brown, and accents of red along the helmet's contours. Positioned centrally, the helmet sits upright with the eagle facing left, while the rest of the object occupies the majority of the frame's right side. The artist's signature, "Eugène Bourcy," appears in the bottom right corner.
