Syrup Pitcher

Thomas Holloway

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a decorative jug with a metal spout and handle, featuring an intricate geometric pattern of star shapes and textured glass. The color palette includes grey tones with metallic silver accents on the spout and handle, and subtle shading on the glass. The jug is centrally positioned in the image, leaning slightly to the right due to the curve of the handle, underlined by a faint drawing beneath it. In the upper left corner, there is a supplementary drawing showing a top view of the jug's lid and handle, connected by a line to the main illustration.
