content: The design of the oblong with the ruined painting is similar to that of -1538. It is framed by ramifications of a band, framing also the oblong panels with plants forming the central motifs in the lower section. An octagonal painting is suggested for its center; square paintings flanked by groups of children in conchiae, and parts of coffered vaults for the lateral parts.
