Untitled
1922

A sepia-toned photograph depicting three different ceramic vases on a flat surface against a textured backdrop. From left to right: a dark, bulbous vase with a narrow neck and flared top; a white, stout jug with a curved handle and decorated rim; and a slender, smooth white vase. The lighting casts soft shadows of the vases on the wall behind them. The photo has a vintage look and is bordered by a light-colored frame.
