Vase Orné d'Enfans is a 1531 by Sebald Beham, a Renaissance work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows two cherubic children holding up a fancy vase filled with flowers. The vase is decorated with swirls and leaves, and the whole scene is framed by ornate scrollwork and small figures. The background looks like a building with columns and a balcony. The tiny kids have chubby arms and serious faces, almost like they’re posing for a portrait. The date "1531" is stamped at the bottom, which means this was made over 500 years ago. If you like this style, check out Renaissance art next.
