The outer gouaches depict charming putti ridding the waters, one on a dolphin, one on a seashell pull by turtles, one holding a triton on a floating wooden raft with a flag pulled by dolphins, and the other holding a branch while in a circular vessel pulled by sea dragons. Wonderful subject matter and fine attention to detail throughout, and set in a decorative giltwood frame.

Michelangelo Maestri was an Italian artist of the 18th century who died in Rome in 1812. His finest compositions are based on motifs from antique frescos discovered in Pompeii and Herculaneum and from designs by Raphael or his pupil Giulio Romano. His work became very popular and often purchased by European travelers during their Grand Tour. Some of his most famous gouaches portray putti leading animals on a chariot and were inspired by ceiling frescoes in the Salone of Villa Lante, on the Janiculum Hill in Rome.

This composition evokes themes of guidance, struggle, and divine providence, with the bright sky and natural elements reinforcing the allegorical tone.
3. **Painting 3 (Right Panel):**
The final panel depicts an intimate interior scene, with two seated women engaged in conversation, one gesturing emphatically as a standing male figure observes. The setting includes detailed furnishings, such as a writing desk, a red draped curtain, and objects hinting at scholarly or domestic pursuits. This tableau may represent themes of wisdom, counsel, or moral reflection, supported by the characters' thoughtful expressions and elaborate dress.
