This is a drawing of an ornate decorative chalice design. The image features an intricately designed chalice with Baroque-style flourishes, acanthus leaves, and scrollwork. A face at the center merges with the decoration. Flanking the stem are two faces resembling cherubic or theatrical masks. The base is detailed with rich pattern work. The letters "G" and "W" are near the top of the base.
