Artist, American, 1915 - 2008

The image shows a single goblet with delicate lines and a transparent green hue. The background is plain beige, creating a contrast that highlights the goblet's details. Positioned centrally, the goblet has a round base and stem leading up to a bulbous bowl. The transparency of the goblet, along with the play of light and shadow, gives it a three-dimensional appearance against the flat background.
