This drawing by Agostino Mitelli, dating from 1620-1660, showcases two distinct designs. The left side features a floral ornament, a common motif in Baroque art, characterized by its intricate details and flowing lines. The right side depicts a half-cartouche, a decorative element often used in architecture and design. The cartouche is adorned with leaves, arms, and a lion, suggesting a heraldic context. The drawing is a testament to Mitelli's skill in decorative design, highlighting his ability to create both delicate floral motifs and more robust, symbolic imagery.
