label: Description
content: Vase with goat head handles. The vase is decorated with egg-and-dart, bound laurel leaf, and acanthus leaf ornamentation, and a garland of flowers. The vase is elevated on a plinth, which features a mascaron, a garland, an inscription (D. M. / [Greek letters]), and a reclining skeleton. To the left of the pedestal is a vase with a scene of a caped man absconding with a woman; to the right of the pedestal is a lyre and an overturned tripod. The objects are set within foliage. Although the printed descriptions provide locations for Parent's study of antiquities, the compositional arrangement is imagined. The plate is signed and numbered.
