Wine bottle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photo of a dark-colored ceramic object. The object is a wine bottle, titled "Wine bottle" by an unknown artist. The bottle is lying on its side. It has a narrow neck and a wide body. A small figure of a person with a smiling face is leaning against the body of the bottle. The person's head is resting on the bottle, and their hands are folded in front of them. The background of the image is a plain light-colored surface. The overall atmosphere suggests that this is a product photo or a display of a decorative item.
