content: Architectural design for a sepulchral monument. Below is a dado which is shown in bird's-eye view. Upon a pedestal with the tablet for the inscription, of which the letters "D O M" are inserted, and which is framed by pilasters with trophies of shields, stands the sarcophagus. Upon it lies a cloth, the prelate, wearing a tunic and the mitre. An escutcheon with six roundlets, 3, 2, 1. A pedestal rises behind the figure. Above is a group of the Virgin and the Child, who stands beside her upon a bench. Torches stand at the right front and at the left back corners. Verso: some ink strokes are in the upper corners.
