content: Page with two plates printed next to one another. The tomb of the left plate is inscribed at its base "D.O.M.," and has on its top a sculptural group of a reclining man with his hand stretched back toward motifs of his trade, and an incense burning vase. A rocaille cartouche hangs on the wall above the tomb. The tomb of the right plate is freestanding, and decorated with veined marbles, a bucranium, a coat of arms, meander carving, fish scale pattern, and rosettes, and a large, draped vase and putto at the top. Both plates are signed with Oppenord's name and numbered.
