Shaker Hand Loom

Alfred H. Smith

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a wooden loom with various components including a yarn spool, a heddle, and a beater, arranged vertically and horizontally on a rectangular base. The color palette consists mainly of warm browns and tans, reflecting the natural wood and the yarn's neutral tones, set against a beige background. The loom occupies most of the visual space, with the yarn spool visible on the right side and tools such as shuttles extending towards the left.
