DescriptionAn ornate vase can be seen through the oval window of a richly decorated cartouche. The vase includes reliefs of putti and animals carved into its side. On top, flowers bloom and spill out of the slender opening. Just beneath it, a group of three men admire the decorative vase in the vast garden. Beyond in the distance, a couple stand at railing overlooking the landscape. This record has been reviewed by University Galleries staff but may be incomplete or contain errors.
