This design for two urns by Etienne de Lavallée-Poussin, a prominent French architect and designer, was created between 1735 and 1802. The design features two urns, each with elaborate ornamentation. The urns are adorned with sculpted figures, including winged female figures, and a grotesque mask. The urns have snake-like handles, adding an element of mythical and decorative appeal. The detailed drawing exemplifies Lavallée-Poussin's mastery of classical design and reflects the neoclassical revival in 18th-century art. This drawing is a testament to the artistic elegance of the period and serves as a visual representation of the intricate and imaginative details that were applied to decorative objects.
