Branding Iron

Elizabeth Johnson

National Gallery of Art

The image features a large metal object in the form of a stirrup along with a simple, abstract red line drawing. The metal object is brown with hints of reddish rust, and the line drawing is a light, muted red. Positioned centrally on the canvas, the metal object is angled diagonally, stretching from the upper left to the lower right. The red line drawing sits slightly to the right of the metal object, taking up the bottom right area.
