Box

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photo of a rounded square object with a separation down the middle. The object has rounded corners and straight edges on the right and left sides. The left side and right side are mirror images of each other. The top half of both sides have dark shading with lighter shading suggesting clouds. The bottom half of both sides depicts a landscape scene in relief against a stippled background. On the left, a ball-like object sits on a textured surface with smaller objects to the right and a tree-like object on the right side. On the right, a fenced area sits in front of a sloped-roof building with a doorway. The background behind the object is plain and light-colored. The title of the object is "Box" and the artist's name is not specified but is associated with this image.
