Branding Iron

Elizabeth Johnson

National Gallery of Art

The image features two large metal objects with distinct shapes. One object has a long, curved handle and a loop at the end, while the other resembles an "H" with curved arms. The color palette is primarily composed of earthy tones, such as browns and grays, set against a plain, beige background. The object with the long handle is positioned diagonally from the lower left to the upper right, and the other object is placed horizontally below it in the lower left.
