Silver Mug

Filippo Porreca

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a detailed drawing of a pewter tankard with an ornate handle and a smooth, rounded body, engraved with the name "Thomas Bolam." The color palette consists of grayscale tones, ranging from light silver to darker gray shades, suggesting a metallic surface. The tankard is positioned upright with its handle on the left side. A smaller inset sketch of the tankard is shown to the bottom left. An inscription reading "From Mrs. Margaret Givans To Edward Tanyenes Foyat" is located below the smaller sketch and to the right. All objects are centered within a rectangular frame drawn with simple lines.
