Compote (Blue Urn)

Albert Eyth

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a line drawing of a vessel, possibly a vase or urn, with a wide rim, a narrow neck, and a flared base. Below it is an octagonal shape drawn, likely representing a top view or base pattern. The color palette is monochrome, with black or dark ink lines on a beige or light brown background. The vessel is positioned in the upper half of the image, centered, while the octagonal shape is directly beneath it, also centered, with both objects aligned along a vertical axis.
