This is a 1778 etching by Giovanni Battista Piranesi, titled "Tripod met ouroborus en vaas met putti." It features two decorative designs for a vase: one with a large, ornate base and the other with a simpler, yet elegant, design. The intricate details of the vases, including the ouroboros (a serpent eating its own tail) and the putti (cherubic figures) are characteristic of Piranesi's work, which often combined classical motifs with imaginative elements.
