Shaker Lamp Stand

American 20th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a wooden object with a long vertical brown handle that has evenly spaced white holes, and a horizontal blue bar intersecting the handle near the top, forming a T-shape. Beneath the handle, there is a semi-circular brown base. The color palette consists mainly of natural brown tones for the handle and base and solid blue for the horizontal bar. The T-shaped object is centrally positioned, with the vertical handle extending downward from the center of the blue bar, which stretches horizontally across the upper part of the image. The semi-circular base is at the bottom end of the handle, completing the minimalist composition on a plain, light background.
