Bell

American 20th Century

National Gallery of Art

A large, golden bell with a curved clapper handle is depicted in the center of the image. The bell displays warm tones, including shades of yellow, gold, and brown, accentuating its metallic nature. Against a plain white background, the bell is prominently centered, with its hanging mechanism subtly extending from the top. The lighting emphasizes the bell's rounded surface, casting gentle shadows.
