Description |
English: Decoration intended for execution in stuccowork, showing a quarter of a ceiling with its corner element, right, and a central rosette. Upper left (presumed central ceiling motif), a symmetrical design with medallion at center, a putti holding a standard (upper left), a seated putti (upper right). Putti are repeated below. Decoration includes pine trees, garlands, S and C scrolls. Below at right angle, motifs of hunting trophies: birds, arrows, banners, a hunting horn, hounds, foxes, squirrel, an owl, placed among horns, pine trees, arabesques and a corner cartouche with animal head in the center and a hunting goddess at top. Sections are connected with dotted lines, presumably as a guide for the stuccodor. |
