Thread Cutting Plane

Clarence Secor

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a detailed drawing of a wooden carpenter's tool, possibly a woodworking plane, at the bottom. The wood grain and texture are depicted with varying shades of brown, and the metal parts are shown in darker tones. The color palette consists of browns, beiges, and a touch of gray for the metallic components. In the upper right corner, there is a smaller line drawing of the same tool in black against an off-white background. The larger object occupies the majority of the lower half of the image, with the smaller line drawing placed in the upper right corner.
