About this work
A winged angel holds out a large sheet of plans to a crowned man standing before classical columns, while a crowd of bearded onlookers gathers behind him. Two chubby cherubs in the lower right work with a set square and compass beside a city skyline of domes and towers. The monochrome teal engraving is set within a decorative architectural frame, and the print is attributed to Andrea Scacciati after Santi di Tito.
