Cruet

Charles Caseau

National Gallery of Art

The image features a large, transparent glass jug with a slender neck, a curved handle on the right, and a wide, rounded body that rests on a circular base. The color palette consists mostly of shades of gray with subtle highlights to imply a sense of translucency and depth. The jug is placed centrally on a plain, light background, with the handle extending slightly to the right. Light and shadow accentuate the contours of the jug, especially around the body and base areas.
