At the top center a mascaron, flanked by two volutes of scrollwork that end in horns, from which the head of a dog-like beast protrudes. At the bottom three mascarons. Hatched background. From a series of a title page and 12 cartouches with quotes from classical authors in a frame of scrollwork with grotesques, mascarons, and garlands.
