About this work

This is a photo of a strange ceramic jug. The body is round and greenish, with a small face painted on one side—it looks like a simple, smiling mouth and two dots for eyes. The top has two curved handles: one for pouring, the other shaped like a ram’s horns with a spout between them. The jug sits on a wide, striped base that looks like it’s made of metal. The paint is uneven, giving it a handmade, rustic feel. The face on the jug is a little rough, almost like it was added after the rest was finished. Next, check out chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create mood in art.
