Design for a Vase 1736

This design for a vase by L.N. Percenet is a fine example of Rococo style. The vase is decorated with a Medusa head and two snakes serving as handles, demonstrating the Rococo penchant for classical references, but with a playful, lighthearted feel. The ornate details and use of line in this drawing convey the elegance and sophistication of this decorative design, a testament to the artistic sensibilities of the 18th century. This design would have been used for ceramics, metalwork, or even furniture, demonstrating the widespread impact of Rococo design principles.
