Pewter Pitcher

Richard Schoene

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a detailed drawing of a large lidded pitcher with a curved handle and a spout. It is shaded to show its three-dimensional form in shades of gray on an off-white background. The spout is on the left side facing outwards, and the handle is on the right, curving upwards. The base and lid of the pitcher appear symmetrical. In the bottom right corner, there is a smaller schematic drawing of the same pitcher with measurements and the artist's name, Richard Schoene, inscribed below the larger pitcher drawing.
