This print showcases the Quill Sharpener Knife, a functional tool created by artist Gordon Saltar in 1936. The knife, made of wood and featuring intricate design details, is a testament to the artistic craftsmanship of its time. With its watercolor and graphite on paper depiction, this artwork captures the essence of American art from the 1930s and 1940s. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D. C. , this period item holds great historical significance as part of America's heritage art collection.

The Quill Sharpener Knife stands out with its unique combination of form and function. Its sharp blade allows for precise quill sharpening while showcasing Saltar's artistic vision through its carefully crafted handle. This piece serves as a reminder that even everyday objects can be transformed into works of art.
