Pioneer Sickle

LeRoy Griffith

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a sickle with a wooden handle and a curved metal blade placed diagonally across the center. The color palette consists of natural, muted tones like light brown for the handle and slightly tarnished gray for the metal blade against a warm, parchment-colored backdrop. The sickle is slightly off-center to the left with its handle pointing downwards to the bottom left corner and the blade curving upwards. The name "LeRoy Griffith" is printed in small text close to the bottom right corner.
