Bishop Hill: Mangle

Wellington Blewett

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of two wooden tools. The painting features two distinctly shaped wooden tools laid out horizontally against a plain background. The top tool is long, slender, and slightly curved with a central elongated hole. The second tool is wider and has a rectangular shape with an identical elongated hole near its center. The wood grain is depicted with great detail, highlighting the natural variations and textures of the material.
