Coin Purse

Gladys Cook

National Gallery of Art

The image features a large, intricately coiled green object that resembles a segmented, stylized serpent or rope, with two elongated ends, each of which is capped with a white tassel-like detail. The color palette consists mainly of shades of green with accents of white. The object is positioned centrally on a plain, light beige background, appearing to hang vertically with a graceful curve towards the top.
