Design for a Vase with Hercules and Farnese Lilies 

Francesco Salviati, also known as "Cecchino," was a Mannerist painter and draftsman who produced this pen drawing of a design for a vase decorated with the mythological hero Hercules. It depicts a silver vase with handles in the shape of mythical creatures and decorative scenes in relief of Hercules defeating the Nemean lion. This drawing exhibits the elegant and ornate style characteristic of Salviati's artistic production, which was highly influenced by the works of Michelangelo.
