Woman Standing near a Vase 1514 - 1536

"Woman Standing near a Vase" is an engraving by Agostino Veneziano, an Italian artist, from 1514-1536, currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. This small print, only 9 x 6 1/8 inches, depicts a nude woman standing with a vase in a landscape scene. Veneziano utilizes the classical technique of engraving to create a realistic and elegant composition. The woman's posture is graceful, and the vase, with its intricate details, is rendered with precision. The background features an archway and a view of a town nestled in a landscape, adding depth to the artwork. The overall effect is one of beauty and serenity.
