The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a Plate by Pablo Picasso: A grayscale image of a wide, shallow bowl with a rough, weathered appearance. The bowl has a wide mouth and a narrow base. It features concentric circular grooves on the inside, with a darker color at the top that gradually lightens towards the bottom. The surface exhibits signs of wear and tear, with visible scratches and patches of lighter color scattered throughout. The background behind the bowl is plain white.
