Specifications: Three cherubs being busy with calculating / Allegory of Arithmetic. 1) One cherub - having sat down on a book - calculates by dint of its fingers. 2) The second one seizes a pen, passing its hand over its forehead, since the cupid is very strained due to deep thinking, additionally, there are writing things with ink Stand and tray visible at cherub's right side, finally, this cherub balances an opened book on its knees. 3) The third cupid - standing behind its companions - seizes a scroll, looking at the opened book (= this cupid seems to check the written comments and calculations).
