content: The design for a textile shows three scenes from an unidentified play or novel of historical subject. Lower left: a bearded figure kneel in supplication before two women, with a tomb monument in the background; center, a prisoner in chains, accompanied by two soldiers, is brought before two women, in a tropical setting with palm trees; upper right, two artmed soldiers flee from a third, apparently slain, with the statue of the Farnese Hurcules in the background. Three trophies complete the composition: articles of war and peace; lower right, a trophy composed of armor. A single indication for ground patterning is given.
