Not on view

Depiction of a vase or ewer. The vase is covered by a lid and has one handle, shaped like a hybrid bird-like creature. The body of the vase is decorated with a satyr-like mask from whose ears two garlands spring forth. The print is part of a series of 12 vases said to be designed by Rosso Fiorentino and Polidoro da Caravaggio and initially engraved and published by René Boyvin. The current series was first published by Claes Jansz. Visscher in the early seventeenth century and subsequently also by Frederik de Wit.
