Silver Teapot

Hester Duany

National Gallery of Art

A large teapot is depicted in intricate detail. The teapot features a spout, lid, and handle. It is decorated with floral engravings and an emblem showing a shield and laurel wreath. The image is done in varying shades of grey, creating a monochromatic look. The teapot is centrally positioned with the handle extending to the left and the spout pointing towards the top right corner. In the foreground, there is a smaller sketch of the teapot in the lower corner, with the coat of arms shown separately on the right side.
