Several large objects are depicted in the sketch, including a pitcher, a teapot, and some pots, positioned together under an arched niche. The drawing is done on grid paper in mainly gray tones from pencil shading. The objects are placed on a ledge or shelf, with the pitcher taller and centrally located. Smaller containers and a spherical object are to the right. Each drawing occupies a separate page, with the left page showing fewer details and focusing on contours, and the right page including more shading and texture.
