Title Page for "Agreable diversite de figures"

Stefano Della Bella

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of an ornamental page with calligraphic text and decorative elements. The drawing features a central coat of arms flanked by two symmetrical, elaborate plumes or scroll-like decorations that curl outward. Below the coat of arms, there is elegant, calligraphic text arranged in a flowing script. The border and decorations suggest a formality and richness typical of historical documents. The coat of arms is detailed with horizontal stripes and a crown-like design at the top.
