Study for a Vase in a Suite of Vase Designs 1715 - 1759

Louis Joseph Le Lorrain's "Study for a Vase in a Suite of Vase Designs" is a detailed pen and brown wash drawing from the 18th century depicting a vase with a detailed design and frieze. The vase is positioned on a pedestal and set against a background of trees and clouds. This study is part of a larger suite of designs for vases created by Le Lorrain, a prominent French artist whose work reflects the Rococo style, characterized by intricate and decorative ornamentation. The drawing demonstrates Le Lorrain's keen eye for detail and his mastery of the pen and wash technique. This work is now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
