Silver Mug

Nicholas Zupa

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a large, intricately drawn tankard or mug with a prominent handle. The drawing is executed primarily in shades of gray, giving it a monochrome appearance with subtle shading to illustrate the cylindrical shape and decorative handle. The mug is positioned almost centrally on the page, slightly off to the right, with the handle on the left side as viewed. The artist's name, Nicholas Zupa, is written below the mug, closer to the lower left corner of the page. There is a faint rectangular outline in the upper left section, which is much smaller and less prominent than the mug itself. The overall background is a pale, off-white.
