This etching, "Vases; Set of Wall Monuments; Statue of Louis XV" by Jacques François Joseph Saly (1717-1776), depicts a highly decorative vase with a grotesque face and two winged figures. Created in 1746, the piece exemplifies the Rococo style with its intricate ornamentation and emphasis on the asymmetrical and whimsical. The artist, a prominent sculptor of the French Royal Court, was known for his masterful use of detail, which is evident in the fine lines and delicate shading of this print.
