Model of a Side-Wheeler

William Pollman

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a collection of geometric shapes arranged in a complex pattern, with two perforated bands encircling the structure, creating a tiered look. It has various rods, cylinders, and a wheel-like circle, resembling a mechanical device or industrial machine. At the top, there is a green saucer or lid with two protruding sticks or handles. The structure's form gives the impression of a cross-section of machinery or a conceptual model of a multi-layered tool.
