Plow

Edith Towner, Harry Mann Waddell

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a large rustic wooden plow placed horizontally on a plain background. The wood of the plow shows shades of brown, ranging from light to medium tones, contrasting with the off-white or cream background. The plow is positioned in the center of the image, slightly angled to the right with the handles extending to the right side, and the pointed end directed towards the left. The background is simple and unembellished, emphasizing the texture and color of the wooden plow.
