before 1664

Not on view

Ornament print with designs for two capitals and two masks. The capitals are placed above each other. The upper capital is characterized by the figure of a swan. The lower capital has a cherub in the middle, and on the left side there is a cornucopia instead of a Ionic volute. To the left the small masks, possibly meant to be implemented into the capitals, are shaped like a sheep's head and a satyr. Part of the satyr's head has been traced in brown ink.
