The entry of the Count of Brionne: in the upper image, the count stands on a shipdeck in the guise of Jason, with mermaids and tritons playing musical instruments in the water below; at lower left, the Golden Fleece hangs in a tree above a recumbent dragon; at lower right, a winged figure of Fame plays two trumpets from a rocky outcrop, from the series 'Le combat a la barrière'
