Branding Iron

Elizabeth Johnson

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a pair of vintage, circular spectacles with a unique, curving bridge between the lenses and a long handle attached. The spectacles are in a brown, metallic hue. Below them, there is a simpler rendering of the spectacles’ frame in a lighter brown. The background is off-white. The spectacles and their sketch are positioned towards the right side of the image, with the handle extending towards the top left corner.
