About this work

Two decorative compositions with strapwork. In the upper composition, an oval medallion with Venus and Amor in the center. On the left and right, terminals with satyr heads. On the left, a monkey shoots a blowpipe at a second monkey on the right. The lower composition is a ceiling design with strapwork, a rosette in the center, masks with flower baskets, sphinxes, and two laurel wreaths. The print is part of an album. Most likely a mirrored copy after a French original.
