Cup and Saucer

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photograph of a cup and saucer. The cup is white with a thin black rim around the top edge. It has a handle on the right side and a repeating pattern of small black flowers or leaves. The saucer is also white with a thin black rim around the edge and a repeating pattern of small black flowers or leaves. The saucer is circular and shallow, with the cup sitting in the center. The background is a plain gray surface, with a slight shadow cast by the cup and saucer. The overall composition is simple and symmetrical. The artist is unknown but the title is, "Cup and Saucer."
