About this work
Ceiling piece with the personified Poetry, leaning against a writing desk with a laurel wreath on her head. Around her, putti with musical instruments and a mask. To the left, a bookcase. In the background, to the right, a theater where the play Cinna is being performed. Print is part of an album.
