The Tumbler by an unknown artist is a black and white photograph of a cylindrical glass tumbler. The glass is clear and has a flat bottom with a slightly wider base than top. It is positioned upright. The glass contains no liquid and appears to have small bubbles within it. A silver metal object and a small metal plaque lay in front of the glass on a surface. The plaque reads 'The Metropolitan Museum of Art 1954'. The background is white.
