Drinking Fountain

Edward DiGennero

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a large rectangular stone or block with a textured surface and rounded corners. It features a relief of a horse on the upper left side and a series of raised, rounded shapes on the front. The color palette consists of earthy tones, primarily shades of brown and gray. Positioned in the center of the frame, the block is oriented so the horse relief is visible on the upper left face, and the rounded shapes are on the front, facing the viewer. The background is plain and light-colored, providing a stark contrast to the detailed, darker tones of the stone.
