Silver Salt Spoon

John R. Towers

National Gallery of Art

The image shows three metallic utensils placed diagonally from left to right. The two larger objects at the top have flat, elongated blades with curved handles, while the third object at the bottom is a slender, slightly curved rod. The color palette is primarily shades of grey. The utensils are positioned in a staggered formation, with the top two objects aligned horizontally and the bottom one slightly further down on the paper, positioned horizontally as well. The background is a plain, light color.
