Barometer

William Spiecker

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a tall, wooden barometer. The barometer has a slender design with a top section containing a glass-covered dial, and a long narrow section below it housing a glass tube. The color palette consists of shades of brown from the wood and clear reflective surfaces of the glass components. The barometer is positioned vertically in the center of the image, with its base at the bottom and its ornate top at the top of the frame.
