Dish

Lewis Fourniquet

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a bowl by Lewis Fourniquet. The bowl is made of metal and has a wide mouth with a rounded lip that curves inward. It is approximately 1.5 to 2 times wider at the top than at the bottom. The metal appears to be silver or chrome, and it has a smooth, shiny finish. The bowl is positioned centrally in the image, with its opening facing the viewer. The background is a plain gray color, with a subtle gradient that gets slightly darker towards the top. The bowl casts a faint shadow on the surface below it.
