Cup

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts the side of a "Cup" by the artist Leach, a black and white ceramic object with a wide mouth and narrow base. The cup's interior is white, while the exterior is dark gray with a textured surface. A circular base supports the cup, which is positioned centrally in the frame. The background is a plain off-white surface with shadows cast by the cup. The cup's shape resembles a bowl more than a traditional cup.
