Cattle Brand

J. Henry Marley

National Gallery of Art

The image shows bold, black, curved lines intersecting with straight lines to form an abstract composition. The shapes resemble an arch, with two legs and cross-like extensions at each end. The abstract nature of the shapes allows viewers to interpret them as familiar objects. The minimal composition against the plain background emphasizes the abstract form.
