Spoon

Henricus Boelen

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Spoon by Henricus Boelen. The image shows a black and white photograph of a spoon. The spoon has an oval-shaped bowl that is smooth and shiny. The handle is long and narrow, with a slight curve and a rounded end. The spoon is placed on a dark gray background, with a shadow cast to the left. The spoon's surface shows signs of wear, with small dark spots scattered across the bowl and handle. The overall shape of the spoon is symmetrical, with the bowl centered on the left side of the handle. The photograph is framed by a white border at the top and bottom.
