This drawing shows a fancy goblet on a stand. The goblet has a wide bowl with swirls and leaves carved into it. Two faces with beards pop out from the sides of the stand—one looks calm, the other has a wild beard and wings. The top of the goblet has a small figure bending over it. The artist used lines to make everything look detailed. This style was common in the 1600s. Look up etching to see how artists like this made prints.
