Skimmer

Herbert Marsh

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a slotted spoon-like kitchen tool with a long dark metallic handle and a circular perforated head that is primarily yellow with some darker shading. The color palette includes shades of yellow, gold, and dark gray. The spoon is centrally placed, extending vertically from near the bottom of the image up to near the top. In the upper right quadrant of the image, there is a smaller line drawing of the same tool, which appears more muted and sketched.
