Powder Horn

Samuel Fineman

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a powder horn with a curved body transitioning from light brown to dark brown near the narrow end. It includes a wooden spout and base, with a natural color palette of shades of brown and beige. The horn is positioned horizontally from left to right, with a carrying string extending from the wide end to a smaller spout cap. A small sketch of a screw is in the bottom left corner, and the artist's signature "Samuel Freeman Del. 2591" is in the bottom right corner.
