This image is a black and white print of a still life featuring two glass decanters. The decanter on the left is shaped like a teardrop, with a bulbous bottom that tapers to a narrow neck, and is topped with a lightbulb. The decanter on the right is more rounded, with a wide base and a short neck, and is capped with a glass stopper. The decanters are placed on a table, with the left one positioned slightly in front of the right one. The background of the image is a wall with a light source shining on it, creating a gradient of light and dark tones. The image is a print titled "Decanter II" by Bill Culbert, held at the Victoria and Albert Museum. To learn more about the artist's use of chiaroscuro, look up Culbert, Bill.
