Snuffer

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photograph of a pair of scissors with a snuffer by the artist. The scissors are positioned diagonally across the center of the image, with the handles on the left and the blades on the right. The handles are made of metal and have a circular shape, with a small circle in the center where the fingers go. The blades are also made of metal, with a sharp point at the end and a serrated edge. The snuffer is sitting next to the blades, also made of metal, with a rectangular shape and a curved top. The background of the image is white, providing a clean and neutral backdrop for the scissors and snuffer. The overall composition of the image is simple yet effective, drawing the viewer's attention to the details of the scissors and snuffer. The image appears to be a product photo or an archival image, showcasing the design and craftsmanship of the scissors and snuffer.
