Bowl

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The bowl titled "Bowl" by the artist is a circular, ceramic bowl with a glossy white interior and a brown rim. The bowl has a smooth, shiny interior surface and a rough, brown edge. The bowl's exterior is not visible. The background of the image is a plain gray color. The bowl appears to be viewed from directly above. The bowl's interior has some darker spots and marks. The rim of the bowl appears slightly chipped in places. The bowl is centered in the image. The background behind the bowl fades to a lighter shade of gray towards the edges. The image of two bright white ovals reflects off the interior surface of the bowl.
