Well Head

Majel G. Claflin

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a wooden structure resembling an old well or small gazebo. It is primarily composed of wooden planks with a slanted roof and decorative cutouts, featuring a pale green and brown color palette. The structure is positioned at the center of the image, slightly leaning to the right and supported by a long wooden pole. It stands on a few scattered rocks, with a plain, light-colored surface in the background.
