Bowl

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a bowl by artist Louise Bourgeois. The bowl is rounded and short, with a wide mouth. It has a blue-green patina exterior with a shiny appearance, and a smooth, matte blue interior. The exterior surface features a textured, mottled pattern with a mix of brown and blue-green hues. The background is a gradient of gray, transitioning from dark at the top to light at the bottom, with the bowl casting a shadow on the surface below.
