Comb

Margaret Concha

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a decorative comb. The image shows an intricately designed decorative comb with floral motifs. The drawing primarily features two designs; one is outlined with detailed ornamentation, and the other is more abstract, with a mix of colors and brush strokes adorning the teeth and body of the comb. The top design is a simple line drawing, capturing the elegant shape and pattern of the comb. The lower part of the image showcases a more painted representation that uses shades of brown, cream, and red to suggest a textured surface, with streaks adding depth and dimension. The floral elements and comb teeth are distinguishable, giving the object an ornamental characteristic amidst the contrasting styles.
