In the upper band is a Maltese cross. Below the frame is an escutcheon-like console with an inner escutcheon. The whole is surrounded by a garland springing from the mouth of a mask and ending there. Laterally framed by leaves of two crossed branches. The paper next to it, at left and at right is colored. Written below, at right, by the artist: "In triplicata/propozzione". On the reverse, part of two pen sketches.
