Vase

Charles Volkmar

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a blue vase by Charles Volkmar. The vase is a bulbous shape with a narrow neck. The top of the vase is circular and open. The body of the vase is a darker shade of blue at the bottom and gradually lightens as it reaches the top. The background is gray and transitions from a darker shade at the top to a lighter shade towards the bottom. A shadow is cast to the right of the vase. Vase and background occupy the majority of the image with a white border on the right side.
