The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white photo of a model stove by Joseph Cornell. The model stove is made of plaster or clay and painted white. A tall chimney protrudes on the left. The stove top has three flat surfaces of decreasing size situated on the right. An opening on the front of the lowest flat surface serves as the stove's mouth. Both pieces rest on a black stand with curved feet.
