Oviform Vase and Cover, Munson-Williams-Proctor Institute

A rough sketch of a vase and cover, depicted against a shaded area. It is lit from the left and casts an additional shadow behind and to right.

The Thompson catalogue described the subject as:

'Oviform Vase and Cover, with subjects on two upright panels; on one side a gracefully drawn flower painted in blue on a white ground; on the other side a land-scape with two figures walking on a projecting ledge of rock; in the distance overhanging rocks. Round the neck a running leaf pattern; the cover similarly ornamented. Height, 10 1/4 inches.' 1

The side illustrated shows the flowers.
