Vaso antico di marmo adornato di finissimi intagli ed arabeschi

Etching, 533 x 389 mm (plate), 815 x 590 mm (sheet). Focillon 627, Wilton-Ely 914.


From the series “Vasi, candelabri,cippi, sarcofagi, tripodi, lucerne ed ornamenti antichi disegnati ed incisi dal Cav. Gio. Batt. Piranesi pubblicati l’anno MDCCLXXIIX” printed and published in Rome in 1778.
