Wenceslaus Hollar after Hans Holbein the Younger

National Gallery of Art

The image displays an ornate, large goblet with a lid. It features a sculpture of two embracing figures on top, intricate floral and patterned embellishments, depictions of human faces and scrollwork. The color palette is monochrome with grayscale shades similar to an engraving or pencil sketch. The cup is positioned centrally with the sculpted figures on top, while the stand at the bottom includes decorative patterns extending downwards.
