Unknown Object

American 20th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a large urn-like object with a red cup at the top, placed above a pink and blue rectangular structure with a black border, superimposed on a blue and green pedestal that broadens downwards. The base is on a green square platform. The colors include pink, blue, green, red, black, and gray. The object is centrally positioned, creating a vertical composition from the base to the top in a progression. There are faint pencil writings on the right side of the rectangular structure and near the vase.
