Wine Glass

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image displays four wine glasses on a table. The four wine glasses are side by side on a flat surface; the surface appears to be white with a shadow cast by the glasses. The glasses have a wide bowl that tapers to a narrower rim; a decorative middle section; and a short stem on a flat circular base. The glasses are clear; some internal reflections and refractions are visible. The background behind the glasses is black. The image is in black and white. The title of the image is "Wine Glass".
