Kan met deksel in vorm van dolfijn 1764

Benigno Bossi's 1764 drawing, "Kan met deksel in vorm van dolfijn," depicts a silver pitcher with a dolphin-shaped lid. This realistic drawing, which is housed at the Rijksmuseum, was created by the Italian artist Benigno Bossi, who was born in 1727 and died in 1792. Bossi's work is known for its fine detail and realistic rendering of objects, as seen in this elegant depiction of a pitcher, a typical example of 18th-century silver craftsmanship.
