Pewter Coffee Pot

Eugene Barrell

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a drawing of an intricate teapot at the center. The teapot has a round body with fluted patterns on the lower half, a curved spout on the left, and a looped handle on the right. The color scheme consists of shades of black and gray, emphasizing the teapot's glossy texture. In the corners, there are smaller sketches: design details of the spout in the top left and a different perspective of the teapot in the bottom right. The main teapot illustration is placed centrally within a rectangular frame, with the additional sketches in square boxes slightly overlapping the frame. A signature in the lower left reads "Designed by Barnett."
