Spinning Wheel

Lorenz Rothkranz

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a large wooden spinning wheel with a distaff holding fibers next to it. The color palette is predominantly brown with a hint of beige from the fibers, set against a plain beige background. The spinning wheel is centrally placed, occupying most of the visual space, while the distaff with fibers is positioned on the left side, attached to the wheel. The setup is slightly tilted towards the left. The background is minimalist, emphasizing the details of the spinning wheel.
