Drawing of a designed goblet standing fully in the center of the page. The area surrounding the goblet has been completely shaded in. The drawing au verso is a nose, ear, and hand study.“The dark background with the still darker goblet allowed Collings to achieve bright metallic-like highlights on the embossed goblet. Barely visible, a tiny, whimsical “Ditty” bird peaks over the lip of the cup.” -- “Charles John Collings, 1848-1931” Catalogue Raisonne by Linda Heath
