Stoneware Jar

Annie B. Johnston

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a large earthen pot with a simple cylindrical design and a decorative relief of a human face on its front. The color palette is mainly earthy brown, with subtle variations in light and shadow accentuating the pot's texture. The pot is centrally positioned in the frame with the face motif directly facing forward, while two handle-like protrusions are visible on either side. The name "Annie B. Johnston" is inscribed in the bottom right corner.
