Vase 1879

This ceramic "Vase," created in 1879 by American artist Thomas J. Wheatley, features a seascape with a sailboat. The painting, executed in blue and white hues, captures the tranquility of the ocean with delicate strokes. The round shape of the vase enhances the overall aesthetic and contributes to the artistic design. This piece, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, is a testament to Wheatley's talent for capturing the beauty of nature in a small-scale, decorative format.
