Pewter Mug

Henry Meyers

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a large, detailed drawing of a lidded tankard surrounded by four smaller technical sketches. The tankard is in the center, with a decorative handle curving to the left. The drawing is monochromatic, rendered in shades of gray on off-white paper. The top left corner features a sketch of the tankard's mouth opening, while the lower left shows the handle in detail. The top right corner displays a cross-sectional view of the tankard's body, and the lower right has a side view with measured dimensions. Each small sketch is linked to the central tankard drawing by lines.
