Designs for Vases [verso] is a 1774 ink by Giuseppe Cades, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a sketch of various vases in different shapes and sizes. The vases are drawn in brown ink over graphite on laid paper, with some details added in pen. The vases are arranged in a row, with some of them overlapping each other. The sketch appears to be a study for a larger work, possibly a still life painting. If you're interested in learning more about the artist's techniques, you might want to look into cross-hatching.
Giuseppe Cades was a neo-classicist Italian draftsman, painter, engraver and sculptor, based in Rome.
