The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photograph of a bowl titled "Cup" by an unknown artist. The bowl is centered in the image, with its opening facing the top of the image. The bowl is white with a narrow foot and a wide, flaring mouth. The outside of the bowl appears to have a slightly glossy finish. The background is a plain gray wall, and the bowl casts a shadow on the surface it sits on. The surface is light-colored and appears to be a table or shelf. The image is in black and white.
