Clay Pipe

Manuel G. Runyan

National Gallery of Art

The image features a single smoking pipe with a long, slender stem and a bowl that is slightly bulbous at one end. The color palette is mostly earthy tones, with shades of brown dominating the pipe and a subtle gradation visible on its surface. The pipe is positioned at an angle from the upper left to the lower right within a central rectangular framed area on a light beige background.
