label: Description
content: Vase with a medallion at its center. The medallion has a portrait bust of a woman, over which is draped a festoon with a ribbon. On either side, a siren leans over the shoulder of the vase and grabs the festoon. The base of the vase is fluted and has a short foot. The vase is elevated on a platform that extends to the edge of the image. There are later graphite additions around the sirens and the mouth of the vase. The plate is signed and numbered.
