Churn

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a large ceramic butter churn with a tall wooden plunger extending vertically from its top. The butter churn has a blue floral design on its surface. The color palette consists of neutral earthy tones, such as beige and brown, with the blue floral pattern adding contrast. Positioned in the center of the image, the churn stands upright, with the handle symmetrically aligned in the top third of the composition.
