Beaker

Benjamin Burt

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Beaker by Benjamin Burt. A white, cylindrical metal beaker with a slightly flared mouth. The beaker has a gray rim and small darker specks around its body. An engraved monogram is on the front. The monogram appears to consist of the intertwined letters A, T, and H. The background is a gradient of dark grey at the top to light grey at the bottom. The beaker casts a shadow on the surface it's sitting on. The surface is light grey and transitions to dark grey at the top of the image. The beaker is sitting in the center of the image.
