Pa. German Cake Mold

Walter Hochstrasser

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two views of a ceramic pig-shaped mold. There is a side view of the pig on the bottom half of the image and a top view directly above it. The color palette includes dark greens, blues, and browns, giving the mold a metallic and earthy appearance. The pig's body extends horizontally from left to right along the bottom of the image, while the top view focuses on the pig's head and snout at the upper center of the composition. Both views are centered within the image, surrounded by a plain, off-white background.
