Mule Shoe

Manuel G. Runyan

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a detailed drawing of a horseshoe as the largest object, prominently placed in the lower half of the composition. Above it, there are two smaller pencil sketches of the horseshoe, showing different views and measurements. The color palette of the main drawing features earthy browns with variations of darker and lighter shades, highlighted by lighter hues within the nail holes. The main horseshoe is positioned slightly to the right and titled at an angle while the sketches are located in the upper left quadrant, marked with dimensions.
