Cap Basket

Samuel O. Klein

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a large, intricately woven basket with two twisted rope-like handles on either side and an additional loop on top. The color palette consists of warm, earthy tones mainly featuring shades of brown and beige, with some darker accents present in the detailing of the weave and handles. The basket is centered in the composition, with its base resting solidly and the top rim running horizontally across the visual plane.
