Bandbox

Walter Doran

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a large, cylindrical box with a vibrant blue background. The box displays a scene of a man on horseback and several white tents against a dark blue field. A golden band runs around the top edge of the box. The predominant colors are blue and gold, with accents of white and light brown. The box is centrally positioned in the image and the painted scene encircles its surface. The man on horseback is positioned near the center and stands out due to his size and placement. The white tents are scattered in the background.
