Chopping Knife

Hester Duany

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a large object that looks like a manual egg beater or hand-held mixer with a wooden handle and a metal shaft connected to four blue-purple fan-like blades. The color palette includes various shades of blue, purple, brown, and beige. The object is positioned horizontally across the center of the image, with its handle on the right side and blades extending to the left, casting a subtle shadow beneath.
