Wine Glass

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photo of a wine glass by artist "Wine Glass". The glass is tall with a wide bowl that tapers to a narrow stem and then flares out into a circular base. The bowl has vertical ridges on the outside and small bubbles or imperfections inside. The glass appears to be sitting on a white surface. The background behind the glass is white at the top and gradually darkens toward the bottom. The glass and background are bordered by a thick white line and then a thick black line. The black line has a small white logo in the top left corner. The overall composition is simple, with the glass centered.
