Covered Jar by Pablo Picasso. A black and white photo of a jar with a lid. The jar bulges out in the middle then tapers towards the base and towards the top. There are six rounded vertical indents on the body of the jar. A flower design is painted on it. The lid is rounded with a knob on the top made of the same material as the jar. The background is flat and there is a shadow beneath the jar.
