Jerusalem. Épée de Godefroy de Bouillon (Jerusalem. The Sword of Godfroy of Bouillon)

Auguste Salzmann

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a sword with its sheath, a pair of spurs, and a decorative cross on a chain against a plain background. The color palette is monochrome in sepia tones. The sword is positioned vertically in the center, with the sheath slung diagonally across it and a piece of cloth hanging from it. To the left of the sword, the spurs are displayed, and above the sword's hilt, the decorative cross hangs from the chain.
