Design for Two Vases and an Ornament (recto)

Luzio Romano

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a drawing of three objects on aged paper. The object at the top is an ornament with curvilinear designs on either side, resembling leaves or scrollwork, and a straight bar connecting them. The object on the left is a vase with a narrow base and a wider body featuring hanging decorations. A handle curves up from the body, twisting as it rises to form a snake-like shape with a head at the top. The object on the right is a larger vase with a base and a body decorated with people and geometric patterns. A domed lid sits on top. A figure sits on the right side, and a spout protrudes on the left side. The background of the drawing is aged paper with brown spots and discoloration. A signature appears to be written at the bottom.
