Description:
- This presentation drawing depicts a rectangular ceiling with a central oval compartment from which six trompe-l'oeil columns, decorated with a spiral motif, emanate at equidistant intervals. The compartments between the "columns" are decorated with grotesque motifs, and the areas at the juncture of the cornice and "columns" depict either busts of putti protruding from Rocaille, or various types of urns.

Description:
- This drawing represents an altar, perhaps a shallow side altar of a type increasingly demanded by the Counter-Reformation cult of saints. The dimensions of the rectangular form between the column pedestals (6 x 3 3/4 piedi, according to scale) are appropriate for an altar table. Freehand perspective on the inside right face of the arch indicates the shallowness of the niche, most likely meant to contain a devotional image in the form of a panel painting. A plan of one pair of the engaged columns figures on the lower right. The cardinal's hat signals a religious patron whose coat of arms once appeared in the now badly- abraded centre of the cartouche.
