Pewter Bowl

Henry Meyers

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an architectural drawing of a large, symmetrical vessel or urn with a rounded bowl resting on a flared base. The color palette includes black, white, and shades of gray. The urn is detailed and shaded for a three-dimensional effect. A smaller version of the drawing with dimensions noted is below the main drawing, and there is a subtle embossed emblem in the top left corner. The artist's name "MEYERS" is inscribed near the bottom left of the drawing.
