Bottle

A. R. Samuels

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photograph of three glass bottles. The bottle on the left is small, clear, and oval shaped with a narrow neck and a design that appears to be a bunch of grapes. The middle bottle is clear, larger than the first, with a wide body and narrow neck, featuring an embossed design that resembles a building with a triangular roof. The bottle on the right is the largest, teardrop-shaped, and has a long neck with a small lip at the top. It features an embossed design that looks like a landscape with wavy lines and dots, possibly representing water and sky. The background is plain white. The title of the image is "Bottle" by A. R. Samuels.
