Two 'columnae caelatae', decorated with grotesques. On the lower half of the Corinthian column, at the bottom, two children on lions, on either side of a vase. Above that a cartouche and at the top a basket of fruit. On the right column in the Composite Order, at the bottom two putti emerge from flower petals. Above that a vase with fruit and at the top a mask. The print shows two scales. The print is part of an album.
