Trompe-l'oeil design for a ceiling with a rectangle at center, containing a scene with Olympian gods gathered in a ring-shaped cloud. The long sides of the rectangle are supported by arches, while rectangular openings appear at the short sides. At each corner, a console with a vase above a mask. From an untitled series of six plates with ceiling designs, five of which show trompe l'oeil paintings with mythological scenes in the central compartment. The last plate has a blank central compartment.
