Vaas met deksel, versierd met acanthusbladeren 1764

This engraving, created in 1764 by Italian artist Benigno Bossi, depicts a detailed design for a vase and lid adorned with acanthus leaves. The meticulous rendering showcases the intricate details of the vessel, including its bulbous body, elegant handles, and decorative base. The acanthus leaf motif, a popular decorative element in Neoclassical art, adds a sense of classical refinement to the design. This engraving, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the aesthetic sensibilities of the 18th century and the revival of classical motifs in decorative arts.
