Above, two seated nymphs flanked a smoking urn on the overmantel, while festoons hang from a mask above. At left, half of a door with a warrior scene visible in the overdoor painting. From a group of five prints belonging to a series of six plates with designs for chimneys shown in context and with additional decorations.
