Vera Van Voris

National Gallery of Art

The image displays an old wooden plow as the largest object centered in the composition. Various shades of brown and beige dominate the color palette, showcasing the wood's natural textures and grain. The plow is positioned horizontally on the canvas, with its worn handle extending to the left and a single vertical peg rising from its center, casting subtle shadows on the light background. In the lower right corner of the image, the artist's signature, "V. Van Vliet," is visible.
