Overview of Shell with Medici Coat of Arms n.d.

This watercolor by Giuseppe Grisoni, active in the 18th century, depicts a detailed design for a shell with the Medici coat of arms. The shell is rendered with light washes of grey and blue, creating a subtle textural effect. The Medici coat of arms, a central element, is meticulously executed in gold, highlighting its importance. This design is likely a preparatory drawing for a larger piece, potentially a decorative object or a monumental sculpture.
