Ontwerp voor wijnkoeler (op ware grootte) c. 1830 - 1835

This detailed pencil drawing by Charles-Nicolas Odiot, dating back to around 1830-1835, is a design for a wine cooler. The drawing, measuring 481 mm x 465 mm, depicts a large, classical-style urn adorned with intricate details. The urn features two handles, each shaped like a ram’s head, and a decorative band of grapevines encircling the middle. This drawing showcases Odiot’s talent for blending classical motifs with naturalistic elements, creating a design both elegant and functional, ideal for the storage and display of wine in the 19th century.
