A double handled vase stands at the bottom of a perspectively shown V having a lambrequin at the outer side. Boughs fill the remaining part of the inside, grow from the intervals of the scallops and from two festoons. Triangles with a row of leaves are shown along the edge of the waistcoat. Boughs of two different designs alternate in the obliquely rising part of the field.
