Comb

Erwin Schwabe

National Gallery of Art

The image features a detailed and ornate hair comb as the largest object, with an intricately designed top section and a row of evenly spaced, slender teeth. The drawing primarily uses graphite grays and muted tones, giving it a monochromatic appearance. The comb is positioned centrally within the frame, with a simplified sketch of the same comb in outline located in the lower left corner.
