Grain Shovel

Mary Hansen

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a broom or a similar sweeping tool with a handle positioned vertically in the center of the canvas. The color palette primarily consists of various shades of brown and beige, and the object is rendered in a slightly darker shade against a lighter background. The broom's bristles and handle occupy the middle section, with its top point slightly above the horizontal center line, extending upwards. The artist's signature and date appear in the bottom right corner.
