About this work
Quote from Seneca 'NON EXIGUUM TEMPORIS HABEMUS, SED MULTUM PERDIMUS' (we lack no time, but often it is wasted) in a cartouche. At the top left and right sits a child whose buttocks protrude through the scrollwork. Four mascarons sit on the cartouche. Hatched background. From a series of a title page and 12 sheets with cartouches containing quotes from classical authors in a frame of scrollwork with grotesques, mascarons, and garlands.
