Portfolio XVII, Plate 597: San Juan Pottery is a 1905 by Edward S. Curtis, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This image shows a group of clay pots and bowls scattered together. Some pieces are wide and shallow, others tall and narrow. The surface looks rough, with shadows making the shapes stand out. The artist focused on how light and dark areas define the pots’ forms. This style highlights texture and depth without color. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
Edward S. Curtis (1868–1952) was an American artist.
