Twin Sewing Bird

Oscar Bluhme

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an arrangement of geometric shapes and lines. Two circular forms rest on slender columns, resembling candle holders. The columns support red domes with green scalloped edges. A horizontal bar connects the columns, while a complex assembly of shapes extends downward, suggesting a clamp or vise mechanism. The composition evokes connections to old-fashioned furniture or decorative artifacts.
