Dish

Frederick Marquand

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a silver dish. The dish is symmetrical with a wavy edge and two curved ends resembling handles. The dish has a shiny surface with a smooth finish; it appears to be made of metal, likely silver. It sits on three feet, each resembling an animal's claw. The feet are positioned at the bottom of the dish, one in the center and one on either side. The background of the image is gray, with a lighter shade at the bottom and a darker shade at the top. The dish casts a shadow on the surface below it. The dish is attributed to Frederick Marquand.
