Pa. German Axe Socket

Nicholas Amantea

National Gallery of Art

The image consists of various shapes and lines forming an abstract design. In the center, there is a large fish-like outline with a curved body and defined tail. Above it, there are vertical cylindrical line structures bordered by a horizontal line. To the right of the fish shape, there are geometric forms resembling industrial components. The elements together create a composition that hints at a technical drawing or blueprint. The text "Full Size" is written beneath the fish shape.
