Drawing, Design for an Ewer
This is a Drawing. It was circle of Jan Lutma. It is dated 1630–60 and we acquired it in 1916. Its medium is black and white chalk on beige laid paper . It is a part of the Drawings, Prints, and Graphic Design department.
In the first half of the 17th century Dutch metalsmiths drew inspiration from the elongated forms of Mannerism and the biomorphic motifs of the grotesque to create the curvaceous auricular style. These two drawings for ewers are examples of the designs created by Paul and Adam van Vianen, Janus Lutma, and a circle of craftsmen. Stable metal vessels become transformed into fluid, fanciful objects. Here handles take on the shape of dolphins and mermaids become entwined or embedded in the ewers’ forms. The designs recall those of Enea Vico from a century earlier.
