Bekken met twee jongetjes c. 1870 - 1894

This is a detailed pen and ink drawing by Gustave Joseph Chéret for a design of a decorative basin, featuring a classical column and two cherubs. The piece is likely a study for a larger decorative object, like a fountain or a pedestal for a sculpture. The intricate details of the design and the delicate lines of the drawing make it a testament to Chéret's mastery of line and form. This piece is a good example of the artist's interest in decorative arts and design, which was a significant part of his work beyond his famed lithographic posters.
