New Model for a Cartouche

Stefano Della Bella

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white drawing of an oval-shaped cartouche. The cartouche features a draped rectangle in the center. Two skeletal creatures with horns and furry bodies are on either side of the draped rectangle; their arms are raised, and their legs are bent. The skeletal creatures are holding the draped rectangle. The top of the rectangle has a shape resembling a four-leaf clover. The background of the oval features foliage. The oval is outlined with a thin line. The image is signed "S. Della Bella fecit cum Privileg Regis" at the bottom left. The number "9" is at the bottom right. The background of the image is off-white.
