"Two Ewers" is a 16th-century print by French artist René Boyvin, currently held in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The engraving showcases two elaborately decorated ewers, each filled with a scene of mythological figures and marine imagery, demonstrating Boyvin's mastery of detail and his interest in classical art. The ewers, with their intertwined decorative elements, reveal the influence of Renaissance ornament on his style, making it an important example of the artistic trends of the period.
