About this work
Page of arabesque ornamentation with a statue of the goddess Diana on a pedestal under a baldachin supported by terms at the center. The statue is worshiped by two young women. To the right of the page are hunting dogs; to the left, a fleeing stag. The plate also features garlands, bucranium, scrolls, acanthus leaves, and at the bottom a spear and a horn. The plate is signed.
