Amber Jar (Blown)

Ralph Atkinson

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a large amber-colored glass vase with a curvaceous body and a narrow neck. The color palette consists mainly of amber and golden hues, with darker brown and hints of yellow tones due to light reflections and shadowing on the glass surface. The vase is centrally positioned on the canvas, standing upright against a plain beige background.
