Jar

Nicholas Amantea

National Gallery of Art

A large beige stoneware jar featuring a blue bird design on its front is depicted in the image. The color palette is predominantly neutral with shades of beige, brown, and vibrant blue. The jar is positioned centrally and slightly to the right within the frame, standing upright with its wide, open mouth facing the viewer. The blue bird is on the front side of the jar facing left. The jar has a smooth, glossy surface, and the background is plain off-white. The signature "N. Amantea" is visible in the lower right corner of the image.
