Print, Two Designs for Ewer-shaped Ornaments, Album of Ornament
This is a Print. It was designed by Franz Xaver Habermann and etched by Johann Georg Hertel and published by Johann Georg Hertel and engraved by Johann Georg Hertel. It is dated ca. 1750 and we acquired it in 1920. Its medium is etching, engraving on white laid paper. It is a part of the Drawings, Prints, and Graphic Design department.
This grouping of print and related object illustrates the flamboyant ornamentation characteristic of German rococo. In the print, Franz Xaver Habermann applied his training as a sculptor to ewer fantasies incorporating cartouches, shell motifs, and C-scrolls. The carved finials could have been used as wall decorations on brackets or as decorations on domestic or ecclesiastic furniture.
