"Vaas met saters" (Vase with Satyrs), a 1768 etching by Dutch artist Jacques Juillet, depicts a classical urn resting on a plinth, surrounded by decorative motifs. Two satyrs embrace atop the urn, and two lion's heads flank a circular medallion containing a profile portrait. This decorative design, typical of the Neoclassical style, likely served as a model for furniture or architectural ornamentation. The delicate lines and subtle shading of the etching, executed in brown ink, provide a sense of depth and realism to the composition. This artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
