content: Third plate from a series of six plates of arabesque panel designs, featuring neo-classical ornament. A central cartouche depicting a ship, supported by female figures, with flags on either side and an eagle on top, with clouds and lighting bolds. Above, two winged putti hold flaming torches and support a circular frame with a garland of flowers with a bow and quiver of arrows hanging below. Below the central cartouche, the supporting figures stand on a fountain with foliate branches behind them, with two mermaids below. Fleurons, mascarons, leaves and flowers ornament the design. The plate is numbered and signed with two inscriptions in ink and in graphite.
