A black and white drawing of an ornate cartouche with two cherubs on top. The cartouche is symmetrical and ornately decorated with scrollwork on both sides. The scrollwork on each side includes a lion's head and a tassel hanging below. The top of the cartouche features a flat, wide ring or halo-like structure with no shading inside to indicate it is not 3D. Two cherubs sit on top of the cartouche, one on each side, both with curly hair and wings; they are leaning on the cartouche. The cherub on the left has their right arm resting on the cartouche and their left arm in front of their body. The cherub on the right has their left arm resting on the cartouche and their right arm in front of their body. The background of the drawing is a textured, off-white color with darker spots throughout. The drawing is rectangular in shape with a thin line border around the edge. The bottom of the drawing features a line of small text in a foreign language. The number "72" is printed on the bottom right side. The drawing appears to be by Stefano Della Bella, titled "New Model for a Cartouche".
