Vase Supported by Intertwined Serpents is a 1768 ink by Jean-Laurent Legeay, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a fancy vase balanced on two twisting serpents. The vase is carved with detailed patterns and topped with a crown-like shape. Behind it, a dark, rocky background frames a small building with columns and a dome. The artist used shading to make the scene look three-dimensional, especially on the snakes and vase. The lines are precise but also slightly rough, adding texture. Next, look up etching to see how this technique works.
