Branding Iron

Elizabeth Johnson

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a large metal tool with a long handle and a square, open end, against a beige background. A diamond-shaped outline on the surface matches the tool's open end. The color palette includes muted browns, grays, and rust tones, with a light off-white backdrop. The tool is positioned diagonally across the top half from the left, while the diamond shape is centered below it.
