"Purple Shell on a Stand," an undated watercolor drawing by Giuseppe Grisoni (1699-1769), showcases the artist's meticulous detail and interest in design. This small, delicate artwork depicts a shell-shaped serving dish, likely crafted from silver or porcelain, resting on a simple, elegant stand. The drawing suggests a design for a functional yet aesthetically pleasing object, reflecting the Rococo period's emphasis on refined and decorative objects. This piece is now part of the collection at The Art Institute of Chicago.
