Silver Snuff Box

Lawrence Flynn

National Gallery of Art

This drawing depicts a decorative box with multiple views. It shows different perspectives of a small, intricately designed container, including its top, front, side, and base. The top view displays a detailed, symmetrical floral or starburst pattern. The front and side views show the box's rectangular shape with rounded edges. The base view includes the text "Box by Walt, Half Nugget, 1733." The name "Laurence Flynn" is signed at the bottom. The lines and shading are executed precisely, focusing on capturing the form and ornamental details of the box.
