Necklace

Bertha Semple

National Gallery of Art

A twisted brown rope with yellow rectangular fittings on both ends and along the length forms a 'U' shape, occupying the majority of the image. The color palette consists of earthy tones, primarily browns and yellows, set against a plain beige background. Positioned centrally, the rope's left end ascends vertically and curves downward, while the right end mirrors this, creating symmetrical loops on either side.
