A signed pencil drawing on paper by French artist Henry Bouvet (1859–1945), titled Study of a Tankard. This detailed study depicts an elaborately ornamented Renaissance-inspired tankard with scrolling foliage, mythological figures, and a warrior finial. Bouvet’s refined draftsmanship captures both the reflective surface of the vessel and the depth of its sculptural relief.
Henry Bouvet, known for his interiors and Parisian scenes, was active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and exhibited at the Paris Salon. While his oil paintings are the best recognized, his works on paper reveal the technical discipline and precision that underpinned his larger compositions. This drawing is signed in graphite at the lower right and presented in a later silver-toned ribbed frame with matting.
The study reflects the period’s fascination with Renaissance revival decorative arts and serves as both a finished artwork and a homage to craftsmanship. A rare signed work on paper by Bouvet, it would appeal to collectors of French art, decorative arts studies, and 19th-century drawings.
The drawing is in good antique condition overall. Some foxing and spotting are visible in the upper right section of the paper, consistent with age. The signature is clear and fully legible at the lower right. The work is presented in a later 20th-century silver-toned ribbed frame with double matting and glass, all in sound condition.
