Pewter Beaker

Eugene Barrell

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a sketched cylindrical cup or container as the largest object, centered within the frame. The color palette is primarily monochromatic with various shades of gray used to create the illusion of depth and material. Below the main sketch is a hand-drawn signature "Eugene J. Bassett," and to the bottom right, a smaller sketch illustrates measurements of the object, framed within a square outline. The illustration is set against a light beige background.
