Artist, American, 1903 - 1986

The image features a large, ornate silver tankard with a hinged lid and intricately designed handle at the center bottom. Above it, there are three additional illustrations: a coat of arms with a lion within a shield at the top center, and two line drawings of tankards from different angles on the sides. The color palette is monochromatic with shades of gray and black on a light background. The central tankard is shown from a slightly angled view, taking up most of the lower half of the image, while the coat of arms and simpler drawings are symmetrically placed in the upper portion of the composition.
