Silver Sugar Spoon

Francis Law Durand

National Gallery of Art

This image shows a detailed drawing of an ornate spoon with an intricately designed handle and a wide, fan-shaped bowl. The artwork is rendered in shades of gray. Below the spoon are two smaller design sketches: one showing a close-up of the spoon handle's pattern labeled "Design on Reverse Descending Handle of Apostle Spoon," and the other depicting the contour of the spoon bowl labeled "Contour of Bowl of Apostle Spoon." The main spoon illustration is positioned diagonally from the top right to the center, with the additional design sketches directly beneath it and spaced evenly in the lower half of the page.
