Chopping Knife

Stanley Chin

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a large metal tool with a crescent-shaped blade set vertically, attached to a wooden handle at the top. The metal part is deep brown while the handle is a lighter, natural wood color. The color palette is earthy with shades of brown and beige against a plain, off-white background. The tool is centered in the image, with the wooden handle positioned horizontally near the top and the crescent blade curving downward to the lower half of the frame.
