Vegetable Dish

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image titled Vegetable Dish by the artist is a black and white photograph of a square-shaped dish with rounded corners and scalloped edges. The dish has a raised pattern around its perimeter, featuring a series of interconnected circles. A decorative border surrounds a central design, which includes a rectangular area with rounded corners. Inside this rectangle are two symmetrical vegetables or fruits. Above the rectangle, there is a lyre design. The background of the image is a plain surface, likely a table or countertop, with a subtle shadow cast by the dish.
