Lead Prospector's Ore Pick

Albert Geuppert

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a single large cross-shaped object with rounded, hooked ends on its horizontal axis. The object is dark in color, with metallic brown and grey tones set against a light cream-colored background. Positioned centrally, the object dominates the composition, with the longer vertical axis running from near the top edge to close to the bottom, while the shorter horizontal axis stretches from left to right across the center. The surrounding space is uniform, emphasizing the centrality and singular focus of the object.
