Pitcher

George H. Alexander

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a large, round pitcher with a handle and a narrow spout. The pitcher is primarily a deep reddish-brown color, with variations in shading giving it a textured appearance. It is centered against a light, almost beige background, creating a stark contrast that highlights the rich hue of the pitcher. The handle is on the upper right side, with the spout angling slightly to the left. The pitcher rests on a slightly visible, rounded base.
