The symmetrical composition on the leaf depicts a Baroque garden scene: among terrace-like edifices supplied with waterspouts there is a tiered fountain in an arbour. On either side there are hollyhock (?) flowers the depiction is framed by festoon ornamentation. Similar arbours with flowers can be seen on the sticks. Sticks like these are to be found on MAA inv. no. 59.905.
