National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of an ornate dish design. The image features a circular dish with a decorative handle at the top. The dish has a series of concentric circles creating an illusion of depth and shading, while the elaborate handle or hanger above it displays intricate details. Below the dish, there is a scaled diagram giving the dimensions and shape in a side view. The entire image is contained within a neat rectangular border.
