Design for a Garden Vase with Hunting Theme
Paul Egell German
Not on view
Large sheet with a design for a garden vase placed on a pedestal. The vase is decorated with a boar’s head and has two dogs in the place of its handles, suggesting the theme of the hunt. As one of the most outstanding German sculptors of the late Baroque and early Rococo period, Egell was involved in the decoration of some of the most important pleasure palaces of Central Europe, but many of his work has gone lost during the Second World War.
