Nicholas Amantea

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a large earthenware jug with a butterfly design and illegible text on its surface. Colors include warm brown tones for the jug and a hint of blue for the butterfly. The artist's signature "N. Amanter" is at the bottom right, and a smaller inset illustration in the upper right corner shows a side view of the jug, including a handle. The jug is centrally positioned in the image with the inset in the top right.
