Branding Iron

Elizabeth Johnson

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a rusted metal tool with a looped handle, a wavy shaft, and a diamond-shaped end on a rectangular base to the left. The color palette includes rust-brown tones and some shades of blue on the metal, against a light beige background. To the right is a simpler outline drawing of the diamond shape at the end of the tool, in a medium brown color, placed slightly below the tool.
