Stoneware Jar

Annie B. Johnston

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a large, brown ceramic pot with a rounded body and a narrow, slightly flared mouth at the top. Decorative drips of glaze near the top add texture to the smooth surface. The color palette consists of earthy browns, darker shading along the sides, and lighter areas where the drips occur. The pot is centrally positioned within the frame, with its top slightly above the midline and its body dominating the composition. The artist's signature, "Annie B. Johnston," is visible in the lower right corner outside the pot's outline.
