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 large symmetrical design with central medallion oval, delicate frame consisting of acathus leaves, small leaves, arabesques, and C scrolls. Below, at right angle, two cartouches with scenes, a fire-breathing dragon, a boy holding a standard, a corner cartouche with scene of four small boys playing a card game, a large image of helos flanked by fantastical fire-breathing dragons. Sections are connected by dotted lines, presumably as a guide for the stuccodor.
