Silver Gravy Ladle

Francis Law Durand

National Gallery of Art

The image features a detailed illustration of a decorative ladle with an ornate handle. The ladle is shown in two positions: one with the handle at an angle, and another straight, side profile view. The colors are primarily grayscale, providing a sketch-like appearance. Positioned above the center of the image is the angled view of the ladle, with the handle extending towards the top right corner. Below this, the ladle’s side profile runs along a horizontal axis, showing the curve of the ladle's deep bowl. A smaller circle with a sectional detail of the ladle’s cross-section is located below the ladles, near the bottom center of the image.
