Bowl

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The bowl by an unknown artist titled "Bowl" is a large, white ceramic bowl with a wide mouth and a narrow base. The exterior of the bowl features a black-and-white illustration of a woman in a long dress and hat standing on the left side, facing right. She holds a purse in her left hand. To her right is a landscape with trees, a fence, and a house with a chimney. The interior of the bowl has a decorative border around the rim. The bowl sits on a white surface with two small metal labels in front of it. One label has a ruler-like design, and the other has text that reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART". The background is plain white.
