Geornamenteerde kan 1774

"Geornamenteerde kan" is a detailed pencil drawing of a highly ornamented silver pitcher by Georg Friedrich Schmidt, a prominent German silversmith, and is housed at the Rijksmuseum. The intricate details of the pitcher's design, including the elaborate handle and the floral motifs, highlight the artist's meticulous craftsmanship. The inscription in the lower right corner indicates that the drawing was created in 1774, the year before the artist's death. The drawing serves as a testament to the artistic mastery of Schmidt and showcases the exquisite artistry of silverwork during the 18th century.
