About this work

This sketch shows a vase with a wide, rounded top sitting on a flat surface. The lines around it are quick and light, like a rough draft. In the background, there’s a simple geometric shape—two circles inside a triangle—drawn in the corner. The notes on the paper mention “Palazzo Pitti” and “Florence,” hinting this might be a study of a real building. The artist seems to be testing shapes and shadows, not worrying about details.
