Henricus Boelen

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Spoon by Henricus Boelen. Oval-shaped spoon bowl with a smooth, curved surface and a few dark spots. The bowl is attached to a long, thin handle that tapers towards the end, with a slight curve upward at the terminal end. The handle ends in a flat, rounded terminal. The spoon is made of a shiny, metallic material, likely silver, with a few dark spots and marks on its surface. The spoon is positioned horizontally, with its bowl on the left side and its handle on the right side. The background is a dark gray color. The spoon casts a shadow to the left.
