Bowl

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A black and white photograph of a ceramic bowl titled "Bowl" by an unknown artist. The bowl has a wide mouth and a rounded body that curves inward, sitting on a small circular foot. The bowl's exterior is darker than its interior, with a slightly lighter color near the rim. Small dark spots and a few chips are visible on the exterior surface. The bowl is centered in the image, casting a shadow to the left, on a plain white background.
