Shaker Basket

Kapousouz

National Gallery of Art

A woven basket with a handle is placed on a white background, casting a shadow beneath it. The color palette is mostly neutral, with shades of brown and beige in the basket and gray tones in the shadow. The basket is angled with the opening slightly facing the viewer and the handle on the left side. The shadow extends to the right of the basket, suggesting a light source from the left.
