Copper Candy Vessel

William Ludwig and Kurt Melzer

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a large copper-colored pot with two handles. The pot is positioned centrally and slightly tilted, revealing its inner surface. The color palette consists of warm tones of brown and copper with hints of green oxidation around the handle areas and edge rivets. The handles extend upwards towards the top of the image. The background is a plain, light off-white color, and there are no other objects in the frame.
