Pitcher

Francis Law Durand

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a decorative pitcher with embossed figures and scenes on its surface. The colors are primarily shades of gray and muted blue. The pitcher is displayed in the center, slightly turned to the right. There is a rectangular inset in the upper right corner with a sketched scene of people outdoors. Another smaller rectangular inset in the bottom left corner shows a detail of the pitcher’s pattern. The title "Edmund Lyon Pottery" is printed below the pitcher in the bottom right of the image.
