Vase of Flowers on a Table 1600 - 1800

This anonymous pen and ink drawing from the 17th or 18th century, titled "Vase of Flowers on a Table," depicts a stylized vase with flowers atop a simple table. The artist employed delicate lines to depict the vase's intricate details, including its bulbous form and ornate base. The flowers are rendered with minimal detail, emphasizing their overall shape and movement. The composition's focus on the vase and its floral arrangement showcases the artist's ability to capture the essence of these objects through a minimal aesthetic. The piece is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
