Plaster Iron

John Lang

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a hand tool with a wooden handle attached to a metallic blade that curves at a right angle. The tool appears aged with the metal surface exhibiting tarnish. The color palette is neutral with shades of beige and brown on the handle and a dark, weathered gray on the metal part. Positioned horizontally and centrally within the image, the handle is to the right and the blade to the left against a plain beige background.
