About this work

This drawing shows four different vase shapes, all decorated with detailed patterns. Some vases have handles or lids, and each one has a round scene or floral design carved into the sides. The lines are precise, and the shading gives a sense of depth to the shapes. These prints were made around 1820 as part of a study of ancient Greek and Roman pottery styles. The artist copied designs from real vases, but added his own decorative touches. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more original objects like these.
