Sugar Box

George Richardson

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photograph titled "Sugar Box" by George Richardson. The object in the image is a metal container with a wide, short base that tapers upward and then curves inward. The container has a circular lid with two small handles on top. The lid is slightly ajar, revealing a small gap between it and the container. The container appears to be made of metal, possibly silver or pewter, and has a smooth, shiny surface. The background of the image is a plain gray color, with a slight shadow cast by the container. The photograph has a thick black border around it. The image is presented in a landscape orientation.
