Spur

Robert W.R. Taylor

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a large, dark metal spur with a jagged, gear-shaped rowel at one end and two metal buttons on the other. The color palette includes muted shades of brown and gray, with a hint of rust on the metal. The spur is positioned horizontally across the center of the image, with the rowel on the left side and the part where the spur would attach to a boot on the right. The background is a plain, light off-white color.
