content: Page with two plates printed next to one another. The left plate is a design for an overdoor set within a recessed vault. Above the entryway is a carved cartouche with a lion head; two putti on either side hold up a crown above the head of the lion. Above the archway is a carved trophy with flags and a plumed helmet. The right plate is a design for a rectangular door with an oval rondel above depicting a putti and doves. Around the doorframe are decorative motifs such as garlands, scrolling acanthus leaves, shells, lion masks, and a Satyr-head term. To the right of the door is a view through a portico. Both plates are signed and numbered.
