Trunk

Charles Bowman

National Gallery of Art

There is a large, rectangular, dark brown leather trunk with metal studs and handles in the center of the image. Above the trunk, there is an illustration of a coat of arms, featuring a shield, a bird, and a hat, enclosed within a light blue and white floral motif. The color palette consists mainly of dark browns, with touches of metallic shades from the studs on the trunk, and lighter colors in the floral motifs and coat of arms. The trunk is placed horizontally in the lower half of the image, while the coat of arms and floral design are situated centrally above it.
