Hand Sickle

Lloyd Charles Lemcke

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a large, curved metal sickle with a textured handle. The sickle's blade is dark with some rust-like texture, while the handle appears to be wrapped in a dark material with ridges. The color palette is predominantly brown with a sepia-toned background. The sickle's blade curves from the upper left to the lower right, with the handle extending towards the lower right corner of the image.
