Ubuntu: Using curl to download an image

I want to download an image accessible from this link: `https://www.python.org/static/apple-touch-icon-144x144-precomposed.png` into my local system. Now, I'm aware that the `curl` command can be used to download remote files through the terminal. So, I entered the following in my terminal in order to download the image into my local system: curl https://www.python.org/static/apple-touch-icon-144x144-precomposed.png However, this doesn't seem to work, so obviously there is some other way to download images from the Internet using `curl`. What is the correct way to download images using this command?
