The image features a detailed drawing of a cylindrical tankard with a bulbous lid, a finial, and a curved handle. It is rendered with shaded pencil work to highlight the form and design intricacies of the tankard. The color palette is predominantly grayscale against a light, off-white background. The tankard is positioned centrally in the composition, with a smaller-scale drawing of the same tankard in the lower left corner. The artist's signature and the year "1932" are inscribed in the lower right corner.
