Shard (Study Collection)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Shard (Study Collection) by artist James Welling. The image shows a white ceramic shard with black designs against a white background. The shard appears broken on all sides, with no complete edges. The top of the shard curves. A dark design runs across the shard from left to right. A shiny glaze covers at least parts of the shard. A horizontal line spans the bottom third. The background behind the shard is plain white. The image is in grayscale.
