Miner's Candlestick

Rose Campbell-Gerke

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a metal surgical instrument with a large circular handle on one end and a long, slender pointed rod extending from it. The color palette features dark metallic hues along with hints of brown and gray. The instrument is positioned centrally on a light, neutral background. It is oriented horizontally, with the looped handle on the left side and the pointed end stretching to the right. A small hook is attached near the center, extending upwards. The word "Sore Croppwell's Erpel" is faintly visible in red text near the right-center of the image.
