Pitcher

Samuel W. Ford

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a large, ornate pitcher with a handle shaped like a stylized creature. The pitcher features embossed images of deer and grape clusters. The color palette consists of warm amber, golden, bronze hues, and muted green accents near the base. The pitcher is centrally positioned in the image, facing toward the left. The handle on the right side curves upward and inward, while the spout to the left is slightly elevated compared to the rest of the rim.
