Leather Mail Bag

Walter Praefke

National Gallery of Art

A large, detailed illustration of a leather duffle bag is depicted in rich brown color with visible stitching and straps. The color palette consists mainly of browns and tans against a neutral, light background. Positioned slightly below and to the right of the main illustration is a simple line drawing of the same duffle bag, rendered in black against the light backdrop. Both images are centered, with the larger depiction dominating the top portion of the composition.
