Meat Grinder

Paul Ward

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two wooden mechanical devices with cranks, one positioned above the other. The upper device is closed and has a gray block on top, while the lower device is open, revealing a series of metal components inside. The devices are rendered in shades of brown, with the background being a plain, light tan color. The upper device sits slightly forward in the image and the lower one is displayed beneath it, oriented in parallel but with its components exposed.
