Pewter Beaker c. 1936

Eugene F. Barrell's "Pewter Beaker" (c. 1936) is a detailed pencil drawing of a pewter beaker, likely created as a design study for a functional object. The artist was known for his metalwork, and this drawing showcases his meticulous attention to detail and understanding of form. The drawing, which includes measurements of the beaker, captures the subtle curves and reflections of the metal, rendering a three-dimensional effect on the flat surface of the paper. The drawing demonstrates Barrell's interest in functional art and his talent for crafting precise and aesthetically pleasing designs.
