Butter Mold

Ethel Dougan

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a large, cylindrical wooden barrel with a slightly open top, revealing a hollow interior. The barrel is made of wooden staves held together by two rusty brown metal bands, one near the top and the other near the bottom. The color palette consists mainly of brown shades, from light tan to darker rusty hues. The barrel is upright in the center of the image, surrounded by a plain background.
