Knife and Sheath

Albert Rudin

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a large knife and its corresponding brown sheath positioned against a plain backdrop. The knife has a wooden handle with a smooth texture and a long, metallic, slightly rusted blade. The sheath is elongated and dark brown with a textured finish. The knife lays horizontally across the lower part of the frame, with its handle on the left side, while the sheath is positioned directly above it in parallel. The overall color palette is muted, with mainly browns and grays.
