Pewter Pitcher

Henry Meyers

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a sketch of a detailed pitcher with a wide belly, pronounced spout, and ornate handle. The color palette is muted shades of gray, giving a metallic appearance. The pitcher is centered in the sketch with a faint rectangular border. Below the pitcher are three smaller diagrams showing different views and details of the pitcher, with annotations and measurements. The background is off-white or cream to complement the pencil shading.
