A centered, overhead shot showcases a single, elongated artist's paintbrush against a flat, neutral grey background. The brush, positioned horizontally, extends across the frame.

The brush is divided into three sections: the brush bristles, the wooden handle close to the bristles, and the extended wooden end. The bristles appear a light brown, with a slightly darker brown stain where they meet the base. The wooden handle starts as a light brown, matching the end part of the bristles' base. This light brown color gradually transforms into a vibrant orange-red as it approaches the pointed end.

The background is a solid, matte grey, providing a stark contrast that emphasizes the form and colors of the paintbrush. The lighting is even and diffuse, minimizing shadows and allowing for a clear, unobstructed view of the brush.
