The image shows a large pewter pitcher with a curvilinear handle and a domed lid with a round finial. The pitcher dominates the composition with its metallic surface rendered in shades of gray. The color palette is monochromatic, focusing on various tones of gray and off-white for the background. The pitcher is centrally placed and is depicted with an upward perspective, slightly tilted toward the left side of the image. In the upper right corner, there is a small outline sketch of the same pitcher, indicating its full form from a distance. The artist's signature "Richard Schones" is visible in the lower right corner of the image.
