This watercolor drawing by Italian artist Giuseppe Grisoni (1699-1769) depicts a decorative bowl resting on a stand. The bowl has an oval shape with a deep blue and green glaze, and it sits on a wooden platform supported by three ornate, scroll-like feet. The drawing is framed by a red border, with a red inscription below, "Ex Egiata," which is possibly a reference to the object's origin. This work exemplifies Grisoni's interest in recording the beauty of decorative objects. "Ex Egiata" is a small yet intricately detailed drawing, typical of Grisoni's style.
