Not on view

Two thirds of a grotesque, copied after a print made by Cornelis Metsys around 1540. The design is characterized by a fantastical architectural structure with and arched pergola in its center. Under the pergola a female Victory figure is visible. She is flanked by a male term, who carries part of the architectural structure, and a boy riding on a goat. Crowning the structure is a roundel with an image of a blindfolded man, preparing to shoot an arrow.
