Woman Carring a Vase on Her Head 1528

"Woman Carrying a Vase on Her Head" is a 1528 engraving by Italian artist Agostino Veneziano. The print, housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, depicts a woman in classical drapery gracefully balancing a large vase on her head as she walks through an arched doorway. The print's architectural setting and the woman's flowing garment suggest a classical aesthetic, reminiscent of ancient Roman art. The delicate hatching and cross-hatching techniques employed by Veneziano contribute to the image's sense of movement and dynamism.
