Design for a wall elevation with a fireplace and door opening. Over the fireplace is a panel with Apollo and the Muses and over the door frame a sculpted coat-of-arms of the Grand Duke of Tuscany as Grand Master of the Order of Santo Stefano. In between, the personification of Astronomy is depicted in a niche, a decoration that was most likely meant to be executed in fresco.
