Silver Creamer

Michael Fenga

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a detailed drawing of an ornate pitcher with a flowing handle, intricate floral designs, and a circular base centered in the composition. Two smaller sketches are on the left: one displays a top view of the pitcher with dimensions, and the other features an elaborate insignia with the letters "JF" and the year "1760." Another small sketch on the right shows a stylized floral and fruit motif. The color palette is primarily monochrome, focusing on shading to indicate form and detail. The pitcher is in the center of a larger rectangular frame, with the smaller sketches in each corner.
