Earring

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Earring by artist is a grayscale image of a metal hoop. The hoop has a circular shape with a gap at the top. It appears to be made of a dark metal with a rough texture on its surface. The background is a light gray color with small dark speckles scattered throughout. The hoop is positioned in the center of the image, casting a shadow on the surface below it. The surface appears to be flat.
