Design for a Garden Vase with Hunting Theme. Artist: Paul Egell (German, Waibstadt 1691-1752 Mannheim). Dimensions: Sheet: 16 7/8 × 10 7/16 in. (42.8 × 26.5 cm). Date: ca. 1740. Large sheet with a design for a garden vase placed on a pedestal. The vase is decorated with a boar's head and has two dogs in the place of its handles, suggesting the theme of the hunt.
