Tooth Puller

Joseph Cannella

National Gallery of Art

The image features a long, curved form with an assortment of shapes and lines. One end has a hook-like shape while the other tapers into a bulbous, elongated teardrop. The structure resembles a pipe with a handle or stylized tree branches merging into a root. The shading adds depth and weight to the object against a plain background.
