This is a drawing of putti engaged in sculpting amidst ruins. The scene shows several putti standing around a circular elevated base, chiseling and playing with a curved object in the center. The background includes architectural ruins with columns, foliage, trees, and distant buildings. Other putti in the foreground interact with small creatures. The phrase “LINGUA PRAVORVM PENIBIT” is inscribed on the base of the sculpture.
