The image shows an allegorical figure surrounded by clouds and accompanied by cherubs. The main figure is depicted as a draped female form with her head turned slightly, set against a background of swirling clouds. Two cherubs flank her, one holding a book or tablet and the other carrying a scroll. Below the clouds is a detailed depiction of a town with variously shaped rooftops, spires, and trees. The word “RHETORICA” is inscribed at the top.
