About this work

A woman stands under an arch of lattice work, in which four owls and an eagle are situated. The leafy scrolls at the bottom run out on the sides into a herm blowing a horn. From a series of a title sheet plus 16 sheets with cartouches or architectural fantasies with a representation in a frame of grotesques with mythical creatures, animals, garlands, trophies, and masks.
