Earrings

Frank Fumagalli

National Gallery of Art

The image features two large dark brown glossy earrings with a tortoiseshell pattern against a light beige background. The left earring has a bulbous top that narrows to a teardrop shape looping at the bottom, while the right earring is more slender with multiple circular segments near the top and a pointed elongated bottom. The earrings are positioned centrally but slightly to the left and directly to the right, at mid-height on the page. The color palette consists of dark amber and brown hues against a warm, neutral backdrop.
