"Aquamarine Urn" is a watercolor drawing by Giuseppe Grisoni, an Italian artist active during the 18th century. The drawing depicts a detailed study of an aquamarine urn, possibly a design for a piece of jewelry or decorative object. The simple composition, with the urn rendered in muted tones of green and blue, highlights the delicate details of the object, suggesting a focus on the beauty and craftsmanship of the material. The inscription "Ex Aqua-Marina" below the urn indicates that it was made from aquamarine. This artwork exemplifies the meticulous attention to detail characteristic of Grisoni's work and offers a glimpse into the decorative arts of the 18th century.
