Amelia Tuccio

Artist, American, born Italy, 1904 - 1977

The image shows a metal teapot with a short spout and a lid on a stand with a round, shallow, dish-like base. The object is depicted in shades of gray, giving it a monochromatic appearance. It is positioned centrally on the page, slightly elevated above the base of the stand, which casts a subtle shadow on the plain, light background.
