Purse

Gladys Cook

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of an ornamental vase-like object decorated with intricate geometric and abstract patterns in shades of pink, turquoise, green, and white, along with a small spherical appendage at the base. The top of the object has a golden, gnarly texture resembling rope or woven material. The background is plain to enhance the design of the object.
