Quill Pens

Erwin Schwabe

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two drawing tools laid out on a textured paper background. Both tools have pointed ends, with one having a feather-like structure along its length, while the other has a tapered tip. The color palette consists of muted tones with beige and soft grey hues dominating, punctuated by the darker shades of the tool tips. Positioned diagonally across the center of the image, the tools are neatly placed over a piece of paper that extends beneath them, with an artist's signature, "Erwin Schwabe," written in the lower right corner.
