The drawing shows a crystal decanter with a faceted stopper. Starburst patterns are visible on the body and stopper of the decanter. The color palette is monochromatic, with shades of gray and white against a light beige background. The decanter is centered on the paper, with the base aligned with the bottom of the drawing and the stopper reaching the top third of the frame. Lines and shading highlight the glass material's reflective qualities.
