The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image titled "Wine bottle", by an unknown artist, shows a black and white image of a rounded bottle with a short neck. The body of the bottle displays a dense floral pattern etched into the surface. The floral design features interconnected curved lines forming leaf-like shapes throughout. The background of the image is plain white. The bottle appears to be symmetrical about its vertical axis. The mouth of the bottle is small and circular. The overall shape of the bottle is bulbous with a narrow top. The image has a somewhat textured appearance.
