Flatiron

George Roehl

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an old-fashioned iron with a wide handle and a triangular, flat base. The color palette includes muted browns, shades of gray, and hints of yellowish-brown on the metallic surface. The iron is positioned towards the right of the image against a light background, highlighting its details and texture. The handle arcs across the top, while the base extends forward, providing a slight perspective.
