Brace (Wooden)

Violet Hartenstein

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a large, vintage hand drill positioned horizontally across the center. It has a wooden handle with a curved metal brace extending from one end to the other, ending in a round handle grip. The color palette includes natural wood tones with textures visible, as well as metallic grey and brass tones on the metal parts. The hand drill is predominantly placed in the center of the image with the handle towards the right and the drill bit section towards the left, against a plain, off-white background.
