Pitcher

William McQuilkin

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black-and-white photograph of a pitcher. The pitcher has a rounded body with a narrow neck and a wide mouth. The handle is on the left side, and the spout is on the right side. The pitcher appears to be made of dark metal, possibly bronze or copper, with a smooth, shiny surface. There are some small spots and marks on the surface. A small ruler is placed in front of the pitcher for scale. The background is white, and there is a small logo or watermark at the bottom right that reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART". The title of the image is "Pitcher by William McQuilkin".
