Tobacco Jar

Joseph Cannella

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture features three figures dressed in period attire, with wide-brimmed hats and layered clothing. The figures stand on a cylindrical base adorned with decorative relief work. The sculpture is made of a dark material, resembling bronze, with a metallic sheen. The composition suggests the figures are connected, engaging in an activity or shared purpose. The base is intricately detailed, with a loop at the top.
