Locket for Perfume

Harry G. Aberdeen

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts three ornate objects, resembling pouches or vessels. The largest object is located at the top center and features a decorative chain and intricate patterns. Below it and to the left, there is a slightly smaller object with similar patterns, and to the right, a third elongated item with a handle. The color palette consists of muted tones and shades of brown, gold, and black. The objects are positioned against a plain, neutral background, allowing their designs to stand out. The objects appear to be positioned as if viewed head-on, with the largest object centered at the top, the second largest below and slightly to the left, and the smallest, more elongated piece to the right.
