Ceiling Design with a Recessed Rectangular Section Framed by a Wide Boarder with Busts on Medallions at Each Corner, from a Series of Six Plates with Ceiling Designs
Vertical panel with ceiling design, with a oval at center in a recessed rectangle with curved corners. The recessed space is framed by a wide band with garland between the medallions at each corner. Profiles of women appear in each medallion, wich is topped by a shell. At bottom, a panel with a central rosette flanked by grotesques on cartouches. From an untitled series of six plates with ceiling designs, two of which carry the date 1708, suggesting the set is a later addition.
