Chopping Knife

Herman Schulze

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a mezzaluna herb cutter with a large half-moon-shaped metal blade attached to a horizontal wooden handle. The color palette includes warm natural tones for the wood and dark rusty shades for the metal blade against a neutral background. The mezzaluna is centered in the image, with the handle parallel to the top edge and the blade curving downward.
