Chopping Knife

Nicholas Amantea

National Gallery of Art

A trowel with a rustic, brownish blade and a wooden handle is centered against a plain background. The colors are primarily earthy tones with the trowel displaying a mix of rust and brown on the blade and a darker brown hue on the handle. The trowel is nearly horizontal in the frame, with the handle extending to the right and the blade pointing to the left. The signature "N. Amanton" is visible on the lower right portion of the image.
