Johann I Seutter's "Standing Cup," crafted between 1665 and 1670, showcases the intricate details and craftsmanship of the 17th-century silversmith. The cup's elaborate form features a figure of a nude youth standing atop a stylized shell, while a second figure supports the large, shell-shaped bowl. The cup's base is adorned with an intricate, swirling design, further emphasizing its elegant and ornate design. The standing cup, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to Seutter's skill and the artistic standards of the time.
