- Decoration intended for execution in stuccowork, showing a quarter of a ceiling with its corner element, left, and a central rosette. Upper right (presumed central ceiling motif) a large symmetrically-decorated medallion with leaves, delicate garlands and small cartouches. Below at right angle, a putti, pinetree, mythological figures on a rock, water below. A winged putti pouring a vase of water, a corner cartouche on the diagonal axis with a bird spewing water, water plants, a mask, a boat carrying barrels, and mythological man representing wind, standing on a rock; sections are connected by dotted lines, presumably as a guide to the stucco.
