Ornament with a Vase Between Two Genii

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of ornamental motifs featuring putti and foliage. The image depicts two winged putti flanking a central urn or pedestal, with acanthus leaves and scrolls entwined around them. Each putto is positioned on either side, facing the urn with their bodies slightly turned towards it. The detailed engravings create a sense of depth and texture within the intricate patterns.
