Modeltekeningen van vazen en kannen 1780 - 1849

"Modeltekeningen van vazen en kannen" (Model Drawings of Vases and Pitchers) is a drawing by David-Pierre Giottino Humbert de Superville, a prominent Dutch artist of the Neoclassical period. The drawing, dated between 1780 and 1849, features various sketches of vases and pitchers in different styles and arrangements, suggesting a study of classical forms and their possible applications. The delicate pen lines and intricate details of the objects depict the artist's keen eye for form and proportion, reflecting the Neoclassical interest in reviving ancient Greek and Roman aesthetics. This drawing, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into Superville's artistic process and the artistic trends of his time.
