Tin Egg Boiler

Richard Barnett

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a dark metallic watering can with a long spout and a partially open hinged lid. The color palette is mainly earthy brown tones with darker shades highlighting the metal's texture. The watering can is centrally positioned, taking up most of the image, with the handle extending to the left. The open lid tilts slightly upward to the right. In the lower right corner, there is a smaller sketch of the watering can with additional lines and circles inside.
