Pitcher

Janet Riza

National Gallery of Art

The image features a large, intricately patterned glass pitcher adorned with flowing, curved lines in white on a base of amber and brown tones. The pitcher is primarily composed of warm colors, with amber and brown dominating, complemented by white and hints of darker brown in the handle. Positioned centrally on a neutral background, the handle extends from the left side of the pitcher, curving smoothly to join the narrow neck that flares out to form a wide spout at the top. The body of the pitcher is bulbous, tapering slightly at the neck, and rests on a rounded base, showcasing a harmonious blend of curved and circular forms.
