Sand Blotter

Milton Bevier

National Gallery of Art

The image displays two objects: a dark wooden object resembling a chess piece or a pedestal, and a round, lighter-colored plate with a perforated star pattern. The color palette consists of deep browns and black for the wooden object, contrasted by lighter beige and cream tones for the round plate. The wooden piece is positioned towards the upper right section of the image, slightly above center, while the round plate is placed towards the lower left. The name "Milton A. Bevier" is printed in small letters towards the right side, below the wooden object.
