Jersey Pipe

Francis Law Durand

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a series of curving lines that form an abstract shape resembling a long, slender spoon or ladle with a looped handle. The elongated stem and bulbous shape at the end suggest the outline of a saxophone without intricate details. The abstract composition prompts viewers to draw associations with objects from daily life, like kitchenware or tools.
