Comb

Irene Lawson

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a large tortoiseshell comb with six long, evenly spaced prongs and a wide, decorative top portion. The comb features a mottled pattern of dark brown and amber tones set against a plain, light beige background. Positioned in the center, the comb is the focal point of the composition, surrounded by equal space from all sides.
