Project for ceiling decoration

Project for the sculptured decorations of three caulted ceiling strips. The lower half. The strip at left: the frame is supported by a flying child partly in front of the lower panel. It is decorated similar to the corresponding central one, shown in -2509. Below is a broken pediment with two children, standing and leaning upon the corners. The central strip: a flying putto supports the frame. He is in front of the lower panel which is decorated with acanthus blossoms. Below is an attic pediment, with a mask with a shell as a diadem and with cornucopias springing from the mouth. Below is a festoon. Strip at right: the lower panel is decorated similarly to the central one, shown in -2509. Below is a pediment with two sitting children. Crosses are in the free spaces, corresponding to those in -2509. The scale is at right, in the lower framing line. On the reverse is the other half of the project of -2509. Entwined palm branches are sketched as a decoration of framing strips at left.
