Butter Stamp

Florence Choate

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a circular stamp-like object with a handle. The drawing features a round object with intricate patterns that appear to be floral or star-like, consisting of several small flower motifs surrounded by a rope-like border. Below the circular design, there is a side profile illustration of the entire object, showing a handle attached to the underside of the circular part. The drawing is presented with precise lines and shading to give a clear understanding of the object's form and design. A ruler scale is included at the bottom left corner, indicating measurements in inches, and the artist's name, F. Choate, is written at the bottom right.
