Comb

John H. Tercuzzi

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a large, semi-circular hair comb with evenly spaced teeth at its center, dominating the composition. The color palette consists of warm, earthy tones of browns and yellows, giving the comb a natural, wood-like appearance. The comb is centrally positioned on a plain, beige background with its curved top arching upward and the teeth pointing downward, creating a balanced and symmetrical visual.
