Cosimo de Medici, Prince of Tuscany and Marguerite Louise d'Orléans

Stefano Della Bella

National Gallery of Art

The image displays four cherubs surrounding a circular mirror reflecting two side profiles. The cherubs are shown with curly hair and feathered wings, two at the bottom holding the mirror, and the other two at the top holding a smaller sphere and a larger orb. The reflected figures have long, wavy hair and are in profile without clearly defined facial features. Ribbons with the word "COSMOPOS" and decorative elements are behind the cherubs. The background is plain.
