Wine Glass

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image titled "Wine Glass" by the artist shows four clear glasses with stems and bases. The glasses have wide mouths that taper inward, then flare out slightly at the rim. Each glass has a decorative section below the rim with a pattern of small bumps and lines. The stems are thin and ornate, with a series of small rings and ridges. The bases are round and flat. The glasses are arranged in a row on a light-colored surface, with a dark background behind them. The surface appears to be a table or countertop, and it reflects the light from above. The background is a solid color, possibly black or dark gray. The glasses cast slight shadows on the surface below them.
