Flat Iron Holder

Gordon Sanborn

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a large metallic object in the foreground that looks like a blade holder with a looped handle and a flat, elongated piece extending from it. Above this are two smaller, similarly shaped objects along with a scale for size comparison in the center of the image. The color palette consists of muted browns and grays, against a plain beige background. The largest object in the foreground is positioned diagonally from the bottom left to the top right, while the smaller objects are aligned horizontally near the top center of the image.
