Description
Content (description)
On left and right a lion attacks a fallen deer, biting its head. Within these groups on left and right a nude winged putto embraces a half-draped Psyche (without wings). In the centre two winged putti with cloaks spreading behind them look outwards, but hold a roundel in the centre. In the roundel is the portrait of a draped woman; she holds a roll in her left hand and makes a pointing gesture with the right. Beneath the roundel are four putti, one of them draped, and a large bird, the head of which is hidden.
