This painting shows a man standing, his body and head slightly turned to the right. He has fair skin, arched eyebrows, round green eyes, a long nose, thin pink lips, a long brown beard, and a thin brown mustache. He wears a black flat-topped cap and a dark robe with puffed sleeves and lacy white details around the cuffs and neck. A gold ring with a green stone is on his left forefinger. He stands next to a wide window with a yellow sill, and in the background there is a landscape with dark green trees, green fields, a rustic house, and a faint person standing next to a horse, all under a blue sky.

The head, shoulders, and upper chest of a man wearing a curly wig are carved from white marble in this freestanding portrait sculpture. In this photograph, the man’s body and face are squared to us but his eyes cut to our right. His high forehead is lined, and there are crow’s feet around his eyes and wrinkles down the sides of his mouth. His thin lips are pulled up in a slight smile. The hair of his wig is brushed back, and it falls in tiers of dense curls to his shoulders. A white cloth is tied around his sinewy neck, and ruffles peek from the opening of his buttoned vest under his coat. The bust is curved along the bottom edge and sits on a round, stone pedestal. The sculpture is photographed against a gray background.

This print shows a nude woman riding backwards on a large flying goat. The goat faces the right and has its front legs outstretched, while the woman faces the left and has one arm out behind her to grab one of the goat's horns. Her long hair flows out behind her, and her face appears wrinkled. She has a long cloth draped around her right elbow, and in that hand she holds a tall object with a bundle at the top. Below her and the goat, several cherubic figures stand or lay on the ground. They are nude and have small wings. Two stand and hold objects, including a potted plant and a circular object that looks like a large jug or beehive. Closer to us, two of the cherubs are on the ground, one bowing down and one laying with an arm outstretched. The ground they are on appears sandy, with small rocks and sparse patches of grass. Behind the group is a body of water or flat plain. The sky behind the woman on the goat is blank, except for some rays that appear in the top left corner of the print.
