Walking Stick

Edward L. Loper and Gordon Saltar

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of two wooden sticks with carved faces. The painting features two carved walking sticks, each with a distinct human-like face at the top. The wood is depicted in a natural, brown tone with texture that suggests a realistic portrayal of wood grain. The faces are intricately detailed, capturing expressive features with deep lines and exaggerated expressions. The setting is simple, with an off-white background that highlights the carved elements.
