Silver Cream Pitcher

Francis Law Durand

National Gallery of Art

There is a large silver pitcher with an elongated spout and a curved handle positioned centrally on a square base. The image features a monochromatic color palette of shades of grey. To the left of the pitcher, there is an ornate emblem or crest, and to the right, a smaller illustration of the detailed design of the handle and spout. Both the emblem and the detailed view are framed in square outlines. The composition is centered with these elements evenly distributed around the main pitcher.
