This drawing by Jean Charles Delafosse, "Design for a Ewer," (1734-1791) depicts a highly ornamented ewer with a distinctive, neoclassical design. The ewer is decorated with a central band of scrolls and floral elements, as well as putti (cherubs) flanking the top and bottom. This design, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, is a prime example of the Rococo style, characterized by its intricate details and playful use of natural forms.
