- Description
- Design for a ceiling. More than one quarter of a ceiling is shown, viewed from below. It is a view of a slightly vaulted ceiling with arches at the corners (one arch shown, at the lower left corner). Visible through the arch is a view of a classical colonnade in ruins. Decorated beams frame the panels. A cupola is in the central panel. In the panels adjacent to the arches are two festoons, crossing each other at the short sides; a candelabrum at the long sides. In the central panel at the long sides (upper left corner of the sheet) stands a displayed eagle upon a festoon.
