content: A print from a series of seven designs for trophies, rococo ornament and vignettes. A trophy within a landscape featuring a standing female figure holding a cross, a seated female figure wearing armor, at their feet, a male figure lying on the ground, holding a horn, with a jug and plate next to him. The seated figure is leaning against a dolphin incorporated into rocaille ornament including c-scrolls, shell, foliage, and acanthus leaves. Above them, three fleurs-de-lys within an orb, crowned by laurel leaves, with the scales of justice, draped ermine fur, acanthus leaf scrolls, a helmet, axe, and a flag. To their left, a plinth with flames above. The plate is signed and numbered.
