content: Design for a doorway decorated with Classical motifs. The doors are left blank but are framed by moldings, festoons of leaves, rosettes, a mask. The overdoor is decorated with a crowned roundel portrait bust, flanked by winged putti, and vases of flowers, with a draped textile in the background. The whole is flanked by fluted pilasters on either side, with arms and armor trophies on the dado. The cornice is decorated with sculpted moldings featuring laurel leaves, a central rosette, and corbels. The plate is numbered.
