Description
A drawing showing a figure crowned with a laurel wreath leaning on a pedestal under a tree. In the background, Pegasus alights on Mount Helicon. There are also three small figures (poets?) seated lower down the hill. This drawing is thought to be a design for a title page. It is related to a drawing in the Louvre (Inv. 374, recto), which shows the same figure seated writing on a large tablet held by a standing female figure.
