The image contains two vases. The upper vase has an elongated oval shape and sits on a decorative base, while the lower vase is wider with a lid, also positioned on a similar base. The color palette consists of deep greens and muted golds and yellows with hints of blue in the shading. The top vase is centered in the upper portion of the image, labeled "VASE du No. 443," while the lower vase is labeled "VASE du No. 445." A thin line separates the two sections and an additional scale labeled "Echelle d'un pied" is shown below the lower vase.
