content: Page with two prints printed next to one another. On the left, above the doorway, is a circular cartouche with a bucranium at top, with a grotesque, monstrous term (left) and a profile of a scroll (right); there is a scrolling iron work balcony above. On the right plate, the doorway is open, with the right side offering a view into a garden. The design of this doorway is split; on the left above the arch is a cartouche and garland, and at the top of the pediment, a sphinx; on the right above the arch is a lion mask and a garland. Both plates are signed and numbered.
