Pitcher

John Fisk

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of two round vessels decorated with intricate scenes on their sides. The left vessel shows a scene with figures and possibly animals, while the right vessel presents a scene with figures in dynamic movement. The vessels are depicted in a monochrome palette with fine lines and shading. The background is plain, focusing attention on the central objects. In finer print beneath the drawing, there is a mention of "Decorations on round-bodied pitcher."
