Pewter Syrup Jar

Harry Mann Waddell

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a detailed drawing of an ornate pitcher. It features a wide base, a narrowing neck, and a decorative handle, with intricate patterns decorating its midsection and neck. The dominant color scheme is a monochromatic grayscale. The pitcher is positioned centrally, occupying most of the vertical space of the image with a margin around it, slightly off-center towards the right side. The artist's name, "Henry David Henckel," is inscribed in the lower right corner.
