Whiskey Glass

Ralph Atkinson

National Gallery of Art

A large pink-tinted glass tumbler is the central object in the image. The color palette consists primarily of pink and subtle shades of white with hints of reflected light creating a glossy appearance in the glass. The tumbler is positioned centrally within a beige frame, slightly elevated toward the top of the image, and covers almost the entire space, with its rim creating a prominent circular shape at the top. The base of the glass sits closer to the bottom of the frame, and the signature of the artist appears centrally below the glass.
