content: Title page from a series of seven ceiling designs by J. Le Moyne, dedicated to the Duke of Orleans. The title is lettered within a central ornate octagonal frame, decorated with a frieze with c- and s-scrolls, strapwork, acanthus leaf ornament, paws and flanked by two female figures sitting on either side. A garland of laurel leaves suspended from the top of the frame and tied with bows on either side. The Duke of Orleans’ Royal coat of arms below the cartouche, flanked by military trophies consisting of arms and armor and flags. Shading in the background with horizontal lines and vertical lines around the outer edges, giving the illusion of a sculpted panel or overdoor.
