Five Pieces of China is a 1858 ink by Jules-Ferdinand Jacquemart, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows five pieces of decorated china. There’s a big plate with a rooster and flowers. Two bowls sit on top—one has a weird shape, the other has flowers and birds. Below, there’s a teacup with a bird on it and a covered dish with more flowers. The artist drew these pieces to look like they’re real, but they’re actually just sketches. The rooster on the plate stands out—it’s detailed and bold. If you like this, check out etching to see how artists make prints like this.
