Study of Five Vases or Urns 1785 - 1805

This drawing by Felice Giani, titled "Study of Five Vases or Urns", showcases the artist's talent for creating detailed and elegant designs for decorative objects. The five vases, rendered in pen and ink, are adorned with intricate carvings and inscriptions, reflecting the neoclassical style popular in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The vases are presented in a clear, almost scientific, arrangement that highlights their form and decorative elements. Giani's meticulous attention to detail, visible in the fine lines and subtle shading, makes this work a valuable example of 18th-century decorative art.
