Adjustable Drawshave

Albert Geuppert

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a large metal horse bit with two elongated teardrop-shaped ends and a straight connecting part in the center. The color palette consists mainly of muted tones, with the metal appearing to be a dark, burnished brown or bronze. The horse bit is positioned centrally within the image against a plain, light-colored background. The object appears to be laying flat, with the handles extending outward horizontally across the image. There is text beneath the object, but it is subdued, blending softly with the background.
