Pewter Teapot

Charles Cullen

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a large drawing of a teapot with a rounded body, a narrow neck, a lid with a finial, a short spout, and a distinctive, sweeping handle. The color palette mainly consists of shades of gray for the teapot, with a hint of brown on the handle. The teapot is positioned centrally within the drawing, occupying most of the space. Below the spout on the lower right, there is a smaller sketch of the same teapot design accompanied by small annotations or marks. The teapot is set against a light-colored background, contrasting with the darker tones of the teapot.
