Two Greek Vases

Französische Grafik 1775–1780, 1775/80

The image shows two line drawings of ancient-style vases. The vase on the left has an elongated neck with a handle arching over the top and a base depicting an illustration of a seated figure. The vase on the right is slightly larger with a broad mouth and two handles at the sides, featuring illustrations of standing figures on its midsection. The color palette is primarily a soft beige of the paper, accented with light grey pencil sketches. The vases are positioned side by side, with the one on the left being slightly narrower and taller, and both centered within the image.
