This 1764 etching by Benigno Bossi, titled "Vaas met putto en twee ramskoppen", depicts a classical urn adorned with intricate details. The urn features a cherub reclining amidst foliage, a motif popular in Rococo art, suggesting themes of playfulness and natural beauty. Flanking the urn are two rams' heads, symbolizing strength and power. The detailed engraving showcases Bossi's mastery of linework and his ability to capture the elegance and grace of the Rococo style, creating a harmonious composition that emphasizes the beauty of the object itself. This print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Bossi's contribution to decorative arts and the enduring appeal of classical forms.
