Cattle Brand

J. Henry Marley

National Gallery of Art

The image displays bold black shapes and lines on a white background, creating an abstract composition. There is a thick, upside-down "V" shape at the top, with two curved lines below forming various shapes. The lines suggest a house or tent-like structure with an entrance underneath. The simplicity and clarity of the lines add to the abstract quality of the image.
