Here is a description of the image:

The image shows an artist's paintbrush lying horizontally against a gray background. The paintbrush has a wide, flat brush head made of light-colored bristles that are slightly frayed. The ferrule, which connects the bristles to the handle, is made of shiny metal, possibly nickel or aluminum. It tapers from the wide brush head towards the handle. The handle is made of a light-brown wood, which seems to be unfinished or lightly lacquered. Green text is printed on the handle, but it is difficult to make out the specific words without a closer view. The end of the handle is painted with a dark green band and is capped with a small gold-colored metal band. The brush appears to be used, as the bristles are not perfectly aligned and the ferrule shows minor imperfections.
