This etching by Giovanni Battista Piranesi, titled "Two handed vase with masks on a base from another such work," depicts a large, classical vase with two handles and a base that is itself inspired by a similar vase. The vase is adorned with masks, each with a distinct expression, and the base is ornately carved with figures and foliage, reflecting the artistic style of Piranesi's era. This work, produced between 1769 and 1778, showcases Piranesi's fascination with ancient Roman architecture and design, and his skill as an etcher. The artwork is currently housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen.
