Oyster Shaped Flask

Francis Law Durand

National Gallery of Art

The image shows three depictions of a twisted, rough-surfaced object resembling a seashell or a bottle. The largest one is in the center, an inset close-up of the top left, and a side view at the lower right corner. The color palette consists of muted grays, whites, and hints of yellow against a plain beige background. The central object is positioned prominently in the middle of the image, while the smaller top view is in the upper left and the side view is in the lower right, each within their own outlined frame.
