Description

A still life features the ingredients for indigo dyeing. A white-enameled pot filled with a dark indigo liquid rests atop a white surface. A crinkled blue cloth sits next to the pot, partially submerged. A wooden spoon with a light-colored handle extends into the pot. A small bowl of indigo powder sits to the left of the pot. Indigo pigment is scattered across the white surface. The lighting is bright and highlights the textures of the cloth and powder.
