Title plate with twelve panels with four rows of three. Two of the central panels have trompe-l'oiel paintings. The title appears on a plaque at the bottom center, below a panel with female figures flanking a vase with flowers. From a series of six prints with designs for ceiling decorations. The prints do not show the whole ceiling, but rather a quarter or two-thirds of the design. Since most of them are symmetric, this suffices to understand the overall look of the ceilings.
