This detailed study depicts an elaborately ornamented Renaissance-inspired tankard with scrolling foliage, mythological figures, and a warrior finial.

While his oil paintings are the best recognized, his works on paper reveal the technical discipline and precision that underpinned his larger compositions. This drawing is signed in graphite at the lower right and presented in a later silver-toned ribbed frame with matting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1456\" data-start=\"1165\"\u003eThe study reflects the period’s fascination with Renaissance revival decorative arts and serves as both a finished artwork and a homage to craftsmanship.
