content: Design for a set of interior double doors (with only the top section visible) and an overdoor painting decorated with highly sculpted rococo paneling (boiseries), featuring bunches of grapes, vine leaves, baskets of fruit and flowers, hanging trophies, shells, scrolling leaves (rinceaux), c-scrolls, fluting and a cartouche.
