"Design for a Vessel" is an 18th-century anonymous drawing of a classical urn. The vessel is adorned with Greek key patterns, a testament to the Neoclassical movement that swept Europe during this period. The meticulous detail and precise lines of the drawing suggest a refined and skilled hand, illustrating the renewed interest in ancient Greek and Roman design principles. This drawing, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, serves as a prime example of the influence of classical styles on decorative arts of the 18th century.
