Beaker

Edward Kinsey

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a silver-colored metal beaker. The beaker has a cylindrical body with a flat bottom and slightly flared top. Two horizontal lines encircle the beaker, one at the top edge and one at the bottom edge. The top interior of the beaker has a slightly darker tone than the rest of the beaker. The beaker appears to be made of a shiny metallic material, possibly silver or stainless steel. It is placed on a plain surface with a gradient background that transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. A shadow is cast to the right of the beaker. The maker of the beaker is Edward Kinsey.
