Pewter Mug

Henry Meyers

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a detailed drawing of a tankard with a curved handle on the left side. The color palette is primarily grayscale, as it is a pencil drawing, with shades of black, white, and gray for contrast and depth. The tankard is positioned upright with its handle curving to the left. Additional technical sketches of different views and sections of the tankard, along with measurements, are present in the corners of the larger frame. A scale is shown below the central drawing, with a small circular detail view beneath it.
