Roller Bit

J. Henry Marley

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a drawing of a horse bit with intricate metalwork. The color palette is primarily neutral with shades of gray and an off-white background. The bit is positioned centrally in the image, with the shank extending to the right and the curved part with the jointed mouthpiece on the left. The detailed line work stands out against the plain background.
