Dorothy Dee Lubell Feigin

Artist, American, 1904 - 1969

The image displays a thick rope coiled around a large metal cleat on a wooden surface. Textured knots cover the cleat. The color palette is monochromatic, using shades of black, white, and gray. The rope winds around the central area, with a section of the metal cleat visible in the upper left corner. The coiled rope and adjacent structural elements fill most of the composition with intricate details and shadows.
