Liquor Flask

Charles Caseau

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a large green glass bottle with a flat shape. It has a relief design of a bird in flight, accompanied by a ribbon, an acorn, and some leaves. The color palette is dominated by shades of green, ranging from darker bottle green to lighter areas. There are subtle highlights and shadows giving depth to the glass and the embossed design. The bottle is positioned centrally in the image, standing upright, with the neck and top of the bottle towards the upper center of the composition.
