Bullet Pouch and Powder Horn

Cecil Smith

National Gallery of Art

This detailed painting shows a rectangular pouch and a horn that are both connected to a long strap that loops around the top of the painting. The pouch is on the bottom, and the horn is above it, with the tip of the horn pointing to the left and curving upward. The color palette is mostly shades of brown, with hints of beige on the horn and darker shades on the pouch. The pouch at the bottom has some geometric patterns and diagonal lines visible on its dark surface, including small diamonds and triangles. The background of the painting is beige paper.
