Bowl

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

White bowl with a wide mouth and a narrow base. The bowl features a black and white image of a man in 18th-century attire on the front. The man has short hair and wears a jacket with a scarf around his neck. Two ornate scroll-like designs flank the image of the man. The inside of the bowl has a design around the rim. The background of the image is gray, and the bowl sits on a flat surface. The title of the image is "Bowl" by an unknown artist.
