Suite of Vases: Plate 9

Jacques François Saly

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white drawing of a vase. The vase has a flared top with a wavy edge and a twisted stem. Two small figures with wings and tails sit on either side of the vase's body. The figure on the left has its head turned to the right, while the figure on the right looks forward. The vase appears to be sitting on a surface. The background features short, parallel lines that resemble hatching. A border surrounds the drawing, with a small inscription at the bottom that reads "J. Saly Inv. et Sculps." The overall style of the drawing suggests it may be a plate from a book or a decorative piece. The title of the work is "Suite of Vases: Plate 9" and the artist is Jacques François Saly.
