Copper-lustre Pitcher

Cleveland Museum of Art

Copper-lustre Pitcher by John Singer Sargent. The pitcher is made of copper with a lustrous finish. It has a spout on the left side and a handle on the right side. The handle is curved and twisted, with a decorative element near the top. The pitcher is bulbous in shape, with a narrow base and a wide body that tapers slightly towards the top. The surface shows signs of wear, with scratches and darker spots visible. The background is a plain gray color, with a subtle shadow cast by the pitcher.
