This image shows a detailed drawing of a fancy goblet. The goblet has a wide base with carved shapes and a stem that flares out into a round bowl. Above the bowl, there’s a small handle and a ball with wings on top. The background is filled with tiny cross-hatching lines, giving it a textured look. The goblet’s design looks like it’s inspired by real metalwork, but it’s drawn with sharp lines and shading. The artist used a technique that creates depth with simple marks. Next, look up etching to see how this drawing was made.
