Cartouche Supported by Triton and Siren

Stefano Della Bella

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of an ornate frame decorated with mythical creatures. The frame features two figures on each side: one with curly hair and leafy adornments, and the other in a flowing pose. At the top, two intertwined mythological animal heads meet at the center, with their bodies winding down the frame's sides. The center of the frame is empty. Intricate details, including scrolling elements and swirling motifs, enhance the design's baroque style.
