Blacksmith's Sign

W.W. Zausch

National Gallery of Art

This painting depicts an arrangement of rust-colored curved shapes, stacked concentrically to form a layered design. The semi-circular structures resemble crescents or arcs, similar to horseshoes. A large one arches over several smaller ones. They all seem to be connected, and there is a hook at the top that could allow the object to hang. The background is plain, off-white paper.
