Design for Vase 1730 - 1776

This design for a vase by Jacques François Joseph Saly, a renowned French sculptor and designer, showcases the exquisite decorative arts of the 18th century. The vase, adorned with intricate carvings of putti and a grotesque mask, exemplifies the Rococo style's emphasis on playful asymmetry and ornamentation. The delicate wash of color adds depth and richness to the design, capturing the elegance and refinement of the period. This drawing serves as a testament to the artistic ingenuity of Saly and the influence of the Rococo movement on decorative objects.
