Spur

Hal Blakeley

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a single metallic spur with a rowel, centrally placed on a plain light-colored background. The color palette consists mainly of browns for the spur and a hint of gray for the metallic rowel. Positioned slightly left and centered on the canvas, the spur draws attention to its intricate design and simplicity within the expanse of the blank space surrounding it.
