content: Plate 4 of a series of 6 numbered plates. Symmetrically-designed panel with grotesques. At lower center, two grotesque putti figures with swirling cartouche tails support a platter upon which stands a decorated vase with a mask at center. On either side of the vase, large swan-like birds emit water in streams from their beaks. Above, two putti hold onto branches contained within the vase. Ornamental decorations include festoons of flowers and female figures with a string of fish.
