Clayton Braun

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a large, intricately designed tankard with a decorative handle as the central object. The tankard has a bulbous body that tapers towards the mouth and stands on a small, circular base. In the upper right corner, there is a smaller illustration showcasing the tankard from a side angle. In the upper left corner, there is an emblem or monogram surrounded by a wreath-like decorative border. The color palette is monochromatic, rendered in grayscale. The tankard is positioned centrally within the composition with the handle on the left side. The sketches in the top corners are smaller and inset within boxes.
