Ontwerp voor een vaas met oren in de vorm van jongetjes die linten met vruchtentrossen vasthouden c. 1850 - 1870

This 19th-century design by Frédéric-Jules Rudolphi depicts a grand vase, a decorative piece for a wealthy home. The drawing, rendered in watercolor, features a golden vase with an elaborate, spiraled neck and a wide base adorned with a detailed floral motif. Two cherubic figures perched at the top of the vase hold ribbons of fruits and flowers, which symbolize abundance and prosperity. Rudolphi's work reflects a fascination with decorative arts prevalent during the mid-19th century, highlighting the beauty and craftsmanship of everyday objects. The design, with its intricate details and mythological elements, speaks to a taste for classical themes and a sense of refinement.
