Wooden Spade

Archie Thompson

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a wooden spade with a flat, angled blade and a T-shaped handle centered in the frame. The color palette features earthy browns, greys, and hints of rust. In the upper right corner, a smaller view of the same tool is depicted in a side view. The spade is positioned diagonally across the image, and "ARCHIE THOMPSON" is inscribed in capital letters below the main object on the left side.
