Grotesque Jug

George Loughridge

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a human head with exaggerated features. It has a prominent nose, large eyes, an open mouth with teeth, and noticeable ears. The head has two spout-like structures on top, one taller than the other. The material appears to be clay or ceramic in a muted earth tone. The surface is smooth with shading variations. The sculpture is presented against a plain background.
