content: Print after an overdoor painting of an allegory of painting. A woman is seated on a platform within a landscape holding brushes and a palette. Trees in the background with a balustrade behind her, and a vase on a plinth to her left. Two putti sit at her feet, holding papers with images of bodies and faces, they are surrounded by musical instruments, sheets of music and sculptures. A flying putto is gesturing towards an ornamental rococo frame decorated with palm leaves and garlands of flowers. Within the frame are two male figures in clouds with a flying putto above. A large curtain hangs above to the right. The title is lettered below, and the plate is signed.
