Spreader for Schooner Rigging

Erwin Stenzel

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a long, vertically-oriented wooden object with two pieces bound together by a dark cord wrapped around its center and extending to the ends. The color palette consists of various shades of brown and beige, with the wood appearing worn and weathered. Positioned centrally, the object is vertical and occupies most of the image, with the top and bottom slightly tapering and curving. The background is a plain, light beige color.
